Tavala adai is the speciality of Tanjavur. The same is made with rice and lentils. Either you can use 2 -3 types of lentils or can manage with
one. Normally, it is prepared with tuvar
dal but I used the moongdal.
THANKS
FOR VISITING THE BLOG. YOUR SUGGESTIONS
ARE
When I checked with my friend how to make
it, I felt that it is going to a tedious job but when I heard the recipe from
her, I remembered preparing the upma kozhukkattai Link here. I prepare the upma kozhukkattai with tuvar dal and is quite tasty with morukootan, I prefer. It is somewhat like that only. Instead of making the balls and steaming it,
we have to spread and cook the same like the dosa, adai we make on the tava.
I also presume that it is named Tavala
because it is cooked in Tava means the dosa kallu we call in malayalam or
tamil. Tavala panninathu means cooked in tava. Anyway, it is very easy to
prepare and tasty too with hot sambar, rasam and chutney.
You can also make the powder made
and store it and whenever want, can use it.
