Thiruvathirai Adai
Sweet adai made with rice flour and jaggery. One of the offerings made on Thiruvathirai.
Prep Time: 10 Mins | Cook Time: 15 Mins | Total Time: 25 Mins | Yields: ~12 (~3" dia)
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Rice Flour
- 3/4 Cup Vellam | Jaggery
- ~ 1 Cup Water
- 1/2 tsp Elaichi | Cardamom powder
- 1/4 Cup Grated Coconut (Optional)
Instructions
Roast the rice flour in a pan until it is warm to touch. Keep aside.
In the same pan, melt jaggery with little water. Bring it to boil.
Then add the rice flour and mix well. Keep stirring for a couple of minutes until it becomes smooth without any lumps . Switch off the flame.
Once it is warm, knead it smooth and divide it into small equal portions.
Take one and keep it on a plastic sheet. Grease your hand and pat it into a smooth disc (the thickness of chapathi).
Heat a gridle | Tava and cook on both sides until brown spots appear; flipping it once or twice and apply some ghee.
Notes
Do not try to roll this directly with a rolling pin. If doing so lay another plastic sheet on top and then roll it.
If you feel the dough is dry, wet your hands and knead it again.
The amount of water depends on the type of flour like if it is home made or store bought and also brand. So start with 3/4 and add gradually if required.
