Sambol Vade

South Asians most of the time measure in 'Sundu' that is sort of like cup measurements...but the cup is larger...in fact it's usually a small tin :-) (commonly the condense milk tin)...so yes...when one family says we keep about 2 sundus of rice for the whole family...your like...is it the big sundu or small sundu :-)
So yes...I took our sundu..but I later measured it in the scale... so no fear my readers :-) keep in mind though..if you want to make it a round figure...go ahead...it won't make much of a difference.

Vade
1 tsp    salt
480g   - flour
178g   - Cooked Rice  - here I used red rice as that's what we eat cause it's more healthy ( low in cholesterol)
you may use any rice you want.

3 cups water inclusive of coconut water ( water which you get when you break a coconut)

western alternative would be
3 Cups of water with instant east
or
3 cups of water with a piece of bread soaked in it ( bread contains east)
