Adai Avial-- by Yogita Uchil



Recipe for Ada...
½ cup Dhanna Dal
½ cup Urad Dal
½ cup full green moong
1 ½ cup raw rice
2 roasted red chillies
few curry leaves
A pinch of asafoetida
½ tsp of turmeric powder
salt to taste
Soak all the Dal and rice together for 4hrs. Grind the soaked dal and rice. Just before you remove the batter add the red chillies and curry leave and grind coarsely. Add asafoetide, turmeric powder and salt to the batter. Leave it for 1/2hrs and start making Ada. Ada is spread on the pan just like Dosa/ Pancakes.
This can be eaten with chutney, butter, jaggery sambar, avail or just like that.
Please note this is the way I make Ada. There might be other ways too.

Recipe for Avail
1) 1/4kg yam
2) 1/4kg white pumpkin
3) 2 carrots
4) 1 raw banana
5) 1/4kg Red pumpkin
6) 2 drumsticks
7) 100gms cluster beans (Gawar in hindi)
½ coconut scrapper
9) 1tsp jeera
10) 2 green chillis
11) 1 cup curd
12) 1tbsp coconut oil
13) few curry leaves
14) salt to taste
Grind the coconut, jeera and green chillies coarsely (Pref without water)
Cut all the vegetable into similar size. Transfer them into a bowl and cook in the microwave till done. If you do not have a microwave cook it on a gas stove on sim with the lid on. Please do not over cook the veggies, they will mash and loose color. When the veggies are cooked add the coconut masala into it and cook till they blend well. Switch off the gas, cut the curry leaves sprinkle on the veggies, also add the coconut oil. Let this rest and cool. When you are ready to eat and the veggies are cool, add the cup of curd and mix well ( if you add the curd in advance or when the veggies are hot, it will go sour)
Please not, this is how I make it. There might be other ways of making it.
