Ingredients

• 1 cup raw rice
• 3/4 cup jaggery
• 2 tbsp coconut
• 1 tsp water
• oil or ghee to toast

Instructions

• Soak raw rice in water for atleast 2 hours. Drain water completely and rinse again.
• Then spread the raw rice in a soft towel and allow it to dry say for 30-45mins. It will be slightly moist only and few rice will stick to your hands when touch and see, this is the perfect stage. Then transfer this to a mixer.
• Grind to a fine powder. Transfer to sieve. Sieve it well.
• Heat the jaggery syrup for 2mins, then add rice flour and keep stirring continuously without forming lumps. Add cardamom powder and coconut- stir well.
• At one stage it will form a mass without sticking to the pan, this is the right stage to switch off. Once it is hand bearable hot knead it to smooth dough…add a tsp of oil/ghee if it sticks.
• Form 7 equal sized balls(size is your preference) and flatten them on a ziplock cover / plaintain leaf with your finger tips to 1/4 inch thickness. Repeat the same till the dough is finished.
• Heat dosa tawa and toast the adai till golden brown, Drizzle oil / ghee…flip over carefully to other side to cook evenly on both sides. Take care not to break the adais.

Notes

• For neiveidhyam they make 7 adais as the count is auspicious on that day.
• Take care not to over roast rice and dal.
• If using readymade idiyappam flour, dry roast for few mins till smoke appears then use it. Don’t over roast which will end up breaking the adais.
• You can even add grated coconut while serving.
• The consistency is very important for the adai else while toasting the adai will tend to break. Don’t be tempted to add more jaggery than the mentioned amount.
• You can make lemon sized balls and make the adai even bigger in size.
• Even while toasting take care not to turn over often just once is enough for it to get cooked.
• The adais should not break, so be very careful while making the dough.

Expert Tips

• Rice and dal may looks sticky after pressure cooking , once it cools down it becomes separated and this kali is meant to be like this(fluffy) not like our usual kali consistency.
