Ragi/Kezhvaragu Vendhaya Keerai Adai~Finger Millet & Fenugreek/Adai
Rich in nutrients Ragi/Kezhvaragu and Fenugreek combine to give a rich and healthy Adai for breakfast. Always on the sidelines, Ragi is gaining popularity again. Always claimed as a poor mans diet, ragi is slowly getting back is much awaited recognition. I have always found ways to include them in our diet and Ragi Adai is one such attempt in including Ragi Flour.
I found fresh green fenugreek leaves at the Indian Grocery and I combined Ragi flour and few spices to make a great tasting crispy Adai for breakfast. Just serve them with pickle or ketchup for a filling and satisfying breakfast or brunch.~My contribution to JFI for Ragi event at Madhuram.
List of ingredients:
- 2 cups Ragi flour
- 2 cups finely chopped fenugreek/methi leaves
- 1 cup finely chopped onions
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chillies
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¼ teaspoon asafoetida
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- Salt
- Oil to make adai
Procedure:
- Mix all the ingredients with water to make a thick dough. Batter consistency should be thicker than the Dosa batter, like chappati dough consistency. You should be able to make a big ball with your hands before placing on the tawa. This batter does not need any fermentation.
- Heat a cast iron tawa/flat pan. Grease the tawa with oil.
- Typically adai is prepared by taking a handful of batter and spreading by lightly pressing with fingers over the tawa. Take care while pressing. Spread to the thickness shown.
- Add oil around the adai and cook on medium heat.
- Cook both sides till crisp.
Serve with a blob of butter, pickle,ketchup or coconut-cilantro chutney.
WOW!! Looks beautiful, so thick and spicy. Wish I had fresh Methi, never get those here except frozen pack. Frozen has more twigs than tender Methi leaves! :D

ReplyDeletelove this healthy and very tasty snack. nice click,,can actually feel the aroma of it.
ReplyDelete"Batter consistency should be thick compared to the dosa batter/pancake batter (Chappathi dough consistency )" - These two are totally in different consistancy levels - whether it should be Dosa Batter level or Chapati dough level? Pls clarify.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteWhat I meant was it should be thicker than the Dosa batter,like chappati dough consistency. You should be able to make big ball with your hands before placing on the tawa.
Thank you for bringing this up. I will correct it in my post too.
Omg..looks gorgeous! Wish I can have this for dinner!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Raagi Rotti that is made in Karnataka. Adding Methi is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteWow! Cilantro that looks so appetizing. I'm definitely trying this one very soon. I'm so happy because I make the same 4-5 dishes with methi leaves, so one more interesting recipe. Thank you very much for sending it to the event.

ReplyDeleteYou come up with some amazing creations!
ReplyDeleteCilantro! I liked the name a lot.. ragi is definitely healthy.. u made it look so delicious too with fenugreek.. awesome!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! in fact I thought it was the Maharashtrian 'thalipeeth'.
ReplyDeleteI turned to ragi when my son was born, for him... now it's time ragi played a bigger role in our lives!
I have a similar version too...adding greens is a gud idea....like this ragi adai anytime!
