An easy recipe to prepare adai using quick cooking hominy grits and daals.
- 1 Cup Quick Grits
- 1/2 Cup Channa Daal
- 1/2 Cup Toor Daal
- 1/2 Cup Moong Daal
- 1 Tablespoon Urad Daal
- As Per Taste Green And Red Chillies
- 1 Tablespoon Grated Ginger
- 1/2 To 3/4 Cup Grated Coconut (Preferably Fresh)
- As Per Taste Salt
- As Needed Finely Chopped Coriander/Curry Leaves For Garnishing, Optional
- Lightly rinse the grits and soak it with 1.5 to 2 cups of water.
- In a separate bowl add all the daals, rinse it and soak it in 3-4 cups of water. Also add the red chillies with the daal.
- After 4 hours either using a blender or wet grinder first grind the daals (adding water little by little) along with the chillies, also add the green chillies, ginger and coconut.
- Once it is ground coarsely add the grits also and grind it for another couple of minutes. The batter should not be very smooth and also not very coarse.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl, add salt and coriander leaves.
- Now prepare the adais as usual.
- I got around 14 medium size adais for the above measurement. It was so delicious, especially with avial.
- I usually use a combination of red chillies and green chillies in my cooking. The taste is definitely different and very good when compared to using either one.
- Using fresh coconut and a lot of it really enhances the taste of adais.
