Ingredients
Grains & Legumes
- 1/2 cup Horse Gram kollu
- 1/4 cup Chickpea black, kala chana
- 1/4 cup Chickpea split, split chickpeas
- 1/4 cup Rice brown
- 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
Spices & Aromatics
- 10 Curry Leaves fresh sprigs
- 1 inch Ginger finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Peppercorns black
- 1-2 Chili Pepper adjust to taste, dried, red
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Water as needed for batter consistency, or more
- 1/2 cup Drumstick Leaves chopped, moringa
- 1 tbsp Oil for cooking (coconut oil or olive oil recommended)
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Wash and soak the horse gram, black chickpeas, chana dal, and brown rice overnight. Dry roast the rolled oats in a pan until fragrant, then grind them into a powder. Set aside.
Grind the Batter
- Drain the soaked grains and legumes. Grind them coarsely in a blender along with curry leaves, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, and red chilies. Add water gradually until you reach a slightly thick batter consistency. Stir in salt and chopped drumstick leaves.
Cook the Adai
- Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium-low heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot surface, spreading it thinly into a circle. Drizzle a little oil around the edges.
Crisp and Serve
- Cook the adai for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Adai
- For a smoother batter, you can strain the batter after grinding to remove any unwanted bits.
- Adjust the amount of water according to the desired consistency of your batter. It shouldn't be too thin or too thick.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the adai; cook them in batches to ensure even cooking.
- If the adai sticks to the pan, try adding a little more oil or lowering the heat.
