One more healthy recipe from Quinoa with dhals. Yes...a healthy qunioa adai without rice. I have already posted Quinoa Black Bean Pulao, Quninoa Pongal & Quinoa Upma. Though I have posted about its health benefits, I would like to give a quick summary about this! It has more protein, minerals and fibre other than any other grains. It is also a gluten free and very good substitute one who wants to avoid rice. It can be eaten with our Sambar, rasam and ofcourse with curd. I would say that it can be a full meal without rice. Ofcourse, cant beaten our rice with any other grains, but healthy way, it is very good for health and tastes delicious.
I would say this adai is a protein packed recipe prepared using 4 to 5 lentils and quinoa. It does not need a fermentation so it is easy to prepare for breakfast / dinner.
INGREDIENTS:
Quinoa - 1 cup
Toor dhal - 1/4 cup
Channa dhal - 1/4 cup
Green moong dhal - 1/4 cup
Black gram dhal - 2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Onion - 1 chopped finely
Coriander leaves - 1/4 bunch chopped finely
Salt - to taste
TO GRIND:
Green chilli - 3 to 4 or as needed
Ginger - a small piece
Fennel seeds - 1 tsp
HOW TO MAKE:
Wash quinoa and other dhals and soak over night. Grind coarsely (Not very coarse or fine paste) by adding water little by little. Do not add more water. The consistency should be neither watery nor thick. Add salt and turmeric powder along with that.
In a blender or mixie grind green chilli, ginger and fennel seeds. Grind it coarsely or fine paste.
In the quinoa dhal mixture, add chopped onions, grounded chilli paste and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well, add water if needed.
Heat a tawa and pour a ladle of batter in the center and spread it in a circular motion. I made it little thicker and make it thin or thick as desired. Drizzle a tsp of oil around the adai and once the corners started lifting up flip over to the other side and cook that side too.
Cook until it is done and enjoy the delicious adai with any chutney of your choice.
TIPS:
Red chillies can be added instead green chillies.
Grated coconut can be added.
