Today we had Karadaiyan Nombu at home and I made Uppu and Vella Adai. Morning made a batch for Pooja and evening I made one more batch for snacks. My son woke up from his nap and asked if I am making doughnuts? I was trying to explain to him that it is Adai, but finally, he convinced me and we both ended up making small jaggery doughnuts🤣 Kids have their own imagination.
Coming back to my kaikuthal Arisi Idli recipe. Last summer I had some recipes in the draft and this is one among them. Today I made Kai kuthal Arisi Dosai for breakfast that’s when I realized I haven’t posted kaikuthal Arisi Idli recipe in my blog.
Rice is our staple food. Their use to be a time when we eat white rice for everyday lunch. These days I try to reduce white rice intake. We have brown rice, Hand Pound rice, millet, quinoa and bulgar for lunch. Oh yes, when I have experimented breakfast variety with another rice substitute it is hand pound rice turn. Next is Bulgar😊

In most of my Idli recipes, I would have ground everything together but with hand pound rice I have ground dal and rice separately. The usual procedure can be followed but since Hand Pound rice takes a long time to grind I follow this method. I prefer making one batter for my tiffin varieties like Idli, Dosai, Paniyaram and waffle Dosai etc as it is handy and saves a lot of time.
Idli podi goes well with this.
