Instructions
Soaking Process
- In a mixing bowl, add kambu, bengal gram, urad dal and toor dal and wash everything thoroughly.
- Add water to soak them all and let it soak for about 2 hours
Preparing Batter
- First, Take the red chili and salt in a mixer jar and grind it. We need coarse batter for adai. If we add everything together, then sometimes red chili takes more time to grind and it makes the batter smooth. Thats the reason we are gridning red chili first.
- Then drain water from the soaked ingredients and add the soaked and drained kambu, and dals to the mixer jar.
- Grind everything to a coarse paste
- Take the adai batter in a bowl. Add curry leave and chopped onions and give a good mix. Now Kambu Adai Batter is ready.
Making Adai
- Heat a tawa. Pour 1 ladle of adai batter and spread it to slighly thicker circle. The thickness of adai is slightly thicker than than dosa
- Pour a teaspoon of oil around the adai. Make a small hole in the center with the turner spatula and pour ¼ teaspoon of oil. Cook the adai in low-medium flame till it turns golden on the bottom side.
- Flip the adai and cook on the other side. Repeat the same steps till the batter is empty.
- Serve the healthy and delicious Kambu Adai (Pearl Millet Adai) with jaggery or Aviyal or any chutney of your choice.
