Adai is a traditional South Indian breakfast, a great protein and iron-rich start for a healthy day. My Amma used to prepare this breakfast growing I remember how I emptied my plate quickly and wait for the second batch. Unlike other dosai, Adai takes a little longer time to cook but it's worth waiting for it.
My Amma prepares a traditional Iyer-style Adai - no onion version. After my marriage, my mil cooked Adai with onion. I loved this version as it enhanced the taste. Except for the onion addition, both mothers' Adai preparation is the same.
I think about Some breakfast classic combo
-
- Appam - Coconut milk/ Vegetable stew
-
- Ven Pongal - Gotsu/Sambar
-
- Adai - Aviyal/Jaggery
-
- Puttu - kadala curry
-
- Idli/ Dosai/Paniyaram - Chutney and sambhar
- Poori - Potato Masala/ channa masala
Did I miss anything? If yes comment on them let's enjoy recollecting some yummy combo.
Usually, Adai is prepared with lentils and rice. To add a healthy fibre touch to our diet I used Quinoa and little rice. Like Quinoa Idli, Quinoa Bisi bele bath this is yet another fusion recipe - Indian style welcome in the home. Do you have leftover Adai batter and are too bored to repeat it for the second day? Try kunukku is a tasty evening snack

So true there is no food like the ones mothers cook. I loved the addition of quinoa in Adai. This is one protein packed yummy dish to kick start a healthy day. Very nice dear. Bookmarked.

Quinoa in Adai is such a good idea. The high price of Quinoa has always kept me away from this wondergrain. This recipe is so tempting Vidya.
