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 big 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 a tawa and I love it. Now things changed, I started experimenting with various forms of Kozhukattai like Cracked Wheat Kozhukattai, Aval Pidi Kozhukattai, and Millet Pidi Kozhukattai still a particular preparation is my favorite. Being a Mom is so challenging - now I can understand.
