Instructions
 

Prepare the Soya Filling

  • Boil the soya nuggets according to package directions. Drain well and squeeze out excess water. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add the soya nuggets and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add ginger paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Adai

  • Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of adai batter onto the hot skillet and spread it thinly in a circular motion, similar to making a dosa.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add a little oil around the edges as needed.

Assemble and Serve

  • Place the cooked adai on a plate. Add a spoonful of the soya filling and some sliced onions.
  • Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with salt (optional).
  • Fold the adai into a roll and secure with a toothpick.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Soya Adai Rolls

  • For a crispier adai, cook it over higher heat and use a slightly thinner batter.
  • Feel free to customize the soya filling with other vegetables like finely chopped carrots or bell peppers.
  • If your adai batter is too thick, add a little water to achieve a spreadable consistency.
  • To make this a complete meal, serve with a side of chutney or sambar for an authentic South Indian experience.
