Tips for nariyal vadi. 1. Use powdered sugar instead of regular sugar. 2. Grind your sugar and elaichi together to get a good flavour of elaichi. 3. Grease a knife before you cut the vadi into pieces. 4. You will have to use a steel spatula to remove your vadi from the thali. 5. Press the vadi with your fingers to give firm edges. 6. Always use freshly grated coconut to make vadi. That too, you must grate only the white portion of the coconut and not go up to the brown portion near the shell. 7. Please don't cover the vadi in the fridge as it will release water.
