Arisi Kurunai adai | Thavala adai | Idli rava Adai with step by step pictures and video recipe. Bakery style Coconut Biscuit recipe is so simple. Check out the Kurunai video and If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel

Arisi Kurunai adai  is a tasty south Indian tiffin variety prepared with broken rice/idli rice Kozhukattai dough. It is a version of thavala adai without your dal. Adai can be made for breakfast/dinner.

Kozhukattai is a traditional south Indian breakfast. There was a time when I used to say biggggg no to kozhukattai. Whenever my Amma prepares kozhukattai I bug her for alternative tiffin.  To make me eat, instead of steaming, she grills Arisi kurunai Adai in tawa and I love it. Now things changed, I started experimenting with various forms of Kozhukattai like Cracked Wheat Kozhukattai, Aval Pidi Kozhukattai, Millet Pidi Kozhukattai still this particular preparation is my favorite. Being a Mom is so challenging – now I can understand.

    Nice dish Vidya I will bookmark this. My MIL taught us to make this without the tempering and making diamond shapes from this dough and adding them to curries or mutton stews.
