ABOUT Bajra Adai RECIPE

Millets are power houses of nutrition, fibre and overall good health. Here's a twist to the traditional Adai, using the Pearl millet or Bajra.

Ingredients Serving: 4

Pearl Millet (Bajra) - 1 cup
Raw rice - 1 cup
Black gram (Urad dal) - 1/4 cup
Bengal gram ( Chana dal) - 1/4 cup
Green gram (Moong dal) - 1/4 cup
Pigeon peas (Toor dal) - 1/4 cup
Green Chilli - 1
Ginger - 1
Curry leaves - a few
Asafoetida powder (Hing) - to taste
Salt to taste

Instructions

Wash and soak the bajra and rice together for about an hour. Similarly, wash and soak the lentils (dals) separately for about 1 hour as well.
In a mixer, grind together the green chili and ginger first. Once done, add the bajra-rice portion and grind to a smooth paste using enough, but not too much water.
Now add the dals, salt, hing and curry leaves and grind coarsely, so the dals still remain visible in a semolina (rawa) consistency.
Transfer this batter to a bowl and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Heat a tawa, add a little oil and pour a ladle-ful of batter. Cook till both sides are golden brown.
Serve hot with desired accompaniment.
