Millet Adai

Millet Adai (kodo + Proso Millet)

Good morning 

A healthy breakfast/ tiffin recipe made with millets. As this year is considered as the International Millet year...I'm sharing some of the easy and healthy Millet recipes.

Adai is a mix of lentils,  which are soaked for couple of hours. Traditionally Raw rice is also soaked separately and grinded with green chilli, ginger, and fermented for 4-5 hrs spread like a Dosa. Today I'm sharing a millet Adai recipe. 

I've served Adai with  vellam / jaggery.

Ingredients:

Proso Millet - 1/2 cup

Kodo millet- 1/2 cup

Toor dal - 1/4 cup

Channa dal- 1/4 cup

Urud dal- 1/4 cup

Green chilli- 1 no

Red chilli- 2 nos

Ginger- 1 ich

Oil- as required 

Curry and Coriander leaves 

Asafoetida- 1/2 tsp

Salt as per taste.

Method:

# Wash millets well and soak for 6-8 hrs.

# Wash lentils well and soak together for just 2 hrs.

# Drain the water from lentils, add green chilli's, dry red chilli's, chopped ginger, asafoetida, salt and sprinkle little water and grind it coarsely.

# Pour the grinded lentils in a vessel....drain the water from millets and grind as the same way like lentils.

# Mix both together...add chopped curry and coriander leaves.

# Let the batter ferment for 4-5 hrs.

#Heat a tawa...drizzle oil, take a ladle of adai batter and spread slightly thicker than Dosa. Make hole in the center, drizzle oil allow it to cook on a medium flame for 30-40 seconds/ until the sides are cooked well.

# The above picture is taken before I drizzled the oil.

# Once cooked slowly turn the Adai.

# Drizzle some oil and cook for 30-40 seconds. 

Millet Adai is ready to serve. You may serve with jaggery powder, gun powder, ghee, sambar, chutney etc.
