Adai.......This is the recipe that takes me back to old memories. Its a dish which has to be cooked on medium flame. So it always takes time time between the first adai and the second one to come to our plates. It was golden days, where we sit in front of the TV watching our fav tv shows, and my mom preparing it in the kitchen and bring it to our plates....I really miss those days. ( Because now, i have to go to the kitchen and do for my hubby and daughter)...Well..Time changes and we got to accept the change.......But it is always a nice feel when our hubby and kid ask for more. And specially when comes to Adai, my daughter loves it.
If kids eat just one Adai also, it is too filling for them. And i always use ghee instead of oil when cooking for my sweet daughter. Afterall they need some fat...
Well...Here goes the recipe for crispy Adai...
