Ragi adai (Spicy version) | Finger millet recipes

February 28, 2012 by Raks Anand 46 Comments /

ragi-instant-adai
My mom makes Ragi adai for my grandma, like I have already told in my Ragi dosa post. But I am trying only for the first time, though I wanted to try for a long time. Today I called and checked with my mom for the recipe and made for my lunch and had. Onion raita is the perfect side dish for ragi adai. You can also try any chutneys, coconut chutney is my choice! I love the green chillies and tomatoes when I eat this adai. My mom used to make with jaggery too for us when we were kids, have to try that soon as well!

Salt – As needed


Water – As needed


To temper

Oil – 2 tsp


Mustard – 3/4 tsp


Urad dal – 1 tsp


Asafoetida – 2-3 pinches


Method

  2. 1-ragi

  3. Add the fried items to the flour and mix well. Add water little by little and make a soft,smooth non sticky dough.
  4. 2-ragi

  5. Divide into 4 equal balls. Flatten over a greased Ziploc cover. Heat tawa and drizzle with 1/2 tsp oil. Transfer the flattened adai to the pan and cook in medium flame. Drizzle oil over the adai and then flip and cook until done.

    my amma makes it with jaggery – the sweet ada… i make ragi laddu which tastes similar to rava laddu & the preparation is also the same as rava laddu… try that also & post it raji… its a friendly request from me… nobody would know its made of ragi.. even the ragi haters would love to eat ragi laddu… my hubby & bil hate ragi but once when i made this laddu & gave them they had in no time…
