Ragi Kaara Adai/Finger Millet Pancake


For the day 3 of blogging marathon #49 under the theme brunch,I wanted to share a healthy and authentic,village style ragi/finger millet adai.We mostly make dosa with the finger millet and rarely adai.This recipe I noted long time in a T.V cookery show by Mrs.Revathy Shanmugam and she used moringa leaves/drumstick leaves.Unfortunately I don't get those leaves,used chopped curry leaves and coriander leaves.The adai is so flavorful with the addition of shallots and its a filling and healthy option for brunch or even snack. I paired it with a spicy chutney and here I flatten the adai directly on tawa and also used a parchment paper to flatten it.Off to the recipe.................................

Shallots/chinna vengayam
10-12(finely chopped)

  • Take all the ingredients except water given for the dough in a bowl and mix it well.Slowly add the hot water and knead it to a soft dough.
  •  Divide the dough into two equal balls,heat a griddle and once it becomes hot keep a ball on the griddle.Wet the hands with water and flatten it to slightly thick adai or flatten it on a parchment paper or banana leaf and transferred to the griddle.
  • Drizzle a tsp of oil and cook it for 2 minutes in a medium flame.Flip t to the other side and cook it for another couple of minutes.Add another tsp of oil and cook it for 30 seconds.Transfer it to a plate.



  • Serve it  hot with tomato chutney or spicy chutney.







  • Use hot water to knead the dough,that makes it more softer.
  • This is the traditional way of making so I didn't use any other veggies such as grated carrot or beet root.
  • Along with the ragi flour,1/2 cup of wheat or rice flour can also be used. .

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

Paasiparuppu Dosa/Yellow Moong Dhal Dosa

For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
