An easy recipe to prepare adai using quick cooking hominy grits and daals.
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Lightly rinse the grits and soak it with 1.5 to 2 cups of water.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Transfer the batter to a bowl, add salt and coriander leaves.
  6. Now prepare the adais as usual.
Taste:
  1. I got around 14 medium size adais for the above measurement. It was so delicious, especially with avial.
My Notes:
  1. 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.
  2. Using fresh coconut and a lot of it really enhances the taste of adais.
  3. Check this recipe for preparing adais using sweet corn.
