Godhumai Rava Adai is a tasty and healthy Adai with mixed dal and Godhumai Rava perfect for breakfast /dinner Adai batter comes so handy for a quick tiffin.
I have been exploring my option to skip rice for dinner. Recently we have started eating cracked wheat/Godhumai Rava/bulgar and quinoa a lot.
One of our frequent favorite dinner is Cracked Wheat Idli
Recently I thought of preparing Cracked Wheat Pongal and was about to soak moong dal. That is when I realized I have leftover soaked toor Dal in fridge. Morning I have soaked toor Dal for Sambar but since quantity was more have kept some uncooked dal in fridge.
That is when I realized instead of making Pongal it is better to make Adai. I have tried Quinoa Adai but never tried with Godhumai rava.
I was very doubtful how it will be but still thought of giving Godhumai rava Adai a try. Had Idli batter in fridge so worst case if it didn’t work. I have palm B🤣
Have soaked everything for Adai and till I make gothumai rava Adai I was all thinking how it will turn. Without telling anything I served Adai to my husband after serving the first Godhumai rava Adai I was waiting like a student whol wait for result. After tasting it hubby said it s different . I don’t know what he meant by that. After sometime I heard a voice next Adai Enga. Then I was like yesss passsss.
I told him it is godhumai rava Adai. He said it tasted good and if it is without rice you should make it often 😊
