This recipe is a variant of the traditional adai that I posted last year. It has the same taste, but with heaps more health and nutrition. What makes it healthy is the combination of wheat, oats and drumstick leaves. You can even make it as a dosa by adding more water. Add more onions if you want it crispy and crunchy. Enjoy making this healthy adai and add in your diet at least weekly once.
INGREDIENTS:
Wheat flour - 1 cup
Oats - 1 cup
Rice flour - 2 tsp
Onion - 1 finely choppedGinger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Grated coconut - 2 to 3 tsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Drumstick leaves - 1/2 cup finely chopped (optional)
Coriander leaves - 1/4 cup finely chopped
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Fennel seeds powder - 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida - a pinch
Salt - as needed
Oil - as needed
HOW TO MAKE:
In a bowl mix wheat flour, oats, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, fennel powder, asafoetida, ginger garlic paste and needed salt. Mix well by adding water little by little. Make a thick batter like Adai batter consistency. It should not be watery. Keep aside for 30 mins and to let the oats get soft. You can make even powder the oats. Add chopped onions, coriander and drumstick leaves.
Blend well with ladle and add water if needed. Heat dosa tava and pour a ladle of batter in the centre. Make a thick or thin circle by spreading the batter with the ladle. Adai should be neither thick or thin.
Sprinkle a tsp of oil on the adai as well on the side of the circle. Let the adai get cook and slowly the color of the adai will get change and the edges will turn into golden brown. Slit the adai turn into other side.
Let the adai get cook other side too. You can see the golden brown dots on the well cooked adai.
Wheat & Oats adai is ready to serve. Serve with Aviyal, any chutney. Jaggery is the best combo for this. Enjoy the healthy adai.
TIPS:
Not to worry if the drumstick leaves are not available. Curry leaves and coriander leaves are fine.
Grated coconut or thinly sliced coconut pieces can be added.
