Adai

On request by one of my friends, I am posting Adai recipe. Here is  my proportion

1 cup total - rice (raw rice:idli rice = 1:1)
1 cup total - all dhaals together (major part of it will be toor dhaal, little channa dhaal, little moong dhaal, little urad dhaal)

- Soak all of the above together for 3hrs and grind coarsely along with 5 red chillies, jeera and salt.

- Top it with fine chopped onions, cilantro, curry leaves, grated ginger.
- Make dosas from the above batter, little thick. Cook both sides well.
- Serve hot with Kurma or red chutney.

Alternatively instead of full rice, I substitute sometimes with wheat rava or brown rice.

Eggplant (Brinjal) Curry

A Hydrebadi dish learnt from a North Indian friend and cooked by me!!!!! I am sure the final product is not even close to the original version, but we liked it! Mine turned little bitter due to methi I guess. So watch out when U add the methi seeds. Rest of the pictures..BrinjalCurry . I like making this around this part of the year as we get tiny eggplants(brinjals).

Beet vada

Most of U might be making it already. Just a tip...adding yellow split peas makes it little more crispier.
