Oats adai with drumstick leaves (oats murungai keerai adai) is perfect for a healthy start breakfast. The recipe turns out tasty as well to suit your Indian taste buds.
Last month when I made adai, I wanted to make murungai keerai (Drumstick leaves) adai and bought the keerai too.
One day made murungai keerai adai and there was still little more leaves but I could not make kootu or poriyal with it.
So I though I will soak all the dals needed for paruppu and made oats murungai keerai adai. Long time ago I posted Oats Paniyaram.
This is same recipe, except that I added murungai keerai and I did not powder the oats to add it to the adai.
Since this has no rice and only oats, its texture is sure softer than the one with rice and I made it with green chillies instead of red chillies so the colour also came different.
It is sure healthy, but really tasty adai too. Its worth trying and keeping this in your routine menu.
When ever you make adai for your family, you can reserve some dal for yourself and include oats in your diet.
Since I made it only for me and it was unplanned too, my clicks are not that well composed.
So I have been postponing this post for long time. But that's fine only the recipe and the idea matters sometimes. Check out the oats recipes page for more ideas.
Instructions
- Soak dal together for 3 hours. First grind chilli, fennel and ginger with little water.
2. Add soaked dal to it and grind coarsely.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients to the ground dal and mix to make a batter. Use water so that the batter is thick enough to spread over tawa.
4. Heat tawa and grease with little oil. Spread thick adai with two laddles full of batter. Cook covered and flip the adai to cook for another minute in medium flame.
Serve hot with sambar or a chutney or simply have it with idli podi like me.

Notes
