Prepare the Spiced Potato Filling
- In a 2-liter pressure cooker, add 1 tbsp oil and 3 tbsp water. Layer chopped potatoes at the bottom. Add curry leaves, green chilies, ginger, turmeric powder, and salt on top. Do not mix. Pressure cook for 2 whistles (about 4-5 minutes). Release pressure immediately.

Assemble the Adai Tostadas
- Heat a non-stick tawa or skillet over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of adai batter and spread into a small, thick circle. Cook for 1 minute until the top looks firm. Drizzle a little oil around the edges.
- Spread onion chutney evenly over the adai. Place a scoop of potato masala in the center. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the base is golden and crispy.
- Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Adai Tostadas
- For extra crispy adai, let the cooked adai cool slightly before adding the chutney and potato filling.
- If your adai batter is too thick, add a little water to thin it to the consistency of pancake batter.
- Feel free to experiment with other fillings! Try adding sauteed vegetables or paneer for a variation.
- Garnish your tostadas with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice before serving for extra freshness and flavor.
