RIDGE GOURD ADAI

I have made adai varieties like the normal adai,  banana adai (dosa),  karela adai.  Now here i am presenting the ridge gourd adai.

Adai is made out of rice, lentils, quite filling stuff for breakfast along with some spicy sambar or chutney.  Usually, it is served with jaggery and white butter by my mom to all of us but I prefer to eat with spicy sambar or chutney.

As I explained in the karela adai, this adai preparation is also very simple and easy to make.

ADAI (RICE AND LENTIL CREPE)

Adai is made of rice and lentils.  We can add sprouts also in this while grinding.  However, normally it is made with rice, urid dal, chana dal, tuvar dal.  It is ground coarsely but my son does not like this way hence I used to grind smoothly along with red chilli, green chilli, curry leaves etc.

We make this during Karthika deepam and is served with jaggery and white home made butter.  My children prefer to eat in this way.  But it can be servied with Avial, Sambhar and coconut chutney too.  While making it for karthikai deepam, we add black pepper, cumin seeds and coconut bits.   It is quite filling and heavy  too.
