Spinach Adai | Keerai Adai Recipe
Preparation time: 3 hours
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Makes ~20 adai
Recipe inspired by Anu
Ingredients:
1 cup of rice
1/3 cup of toor dal (tuvaram paruppu)
1/3 cup of channa dal (kadala paruppu)
1 large bunch of spinach
1 tsp of cumin seeds (jeera)
3-4 dry red chillies
1 tsp of coriander seeds
1/2 tsp of black pepper powder
1/4 cup of grated coconut
1 tsp of oil
Salt to taste
How I Made It:
1. Add the dals to the rice, wash, and soak for at least 2 hours.
2. Heat the oil and add add the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, red chillies, and pepper. Fry for 30 seconds and add the spinach, roughly chopped. Cook for 2 mins until the spinach begins to wilt and shrink.
3. Grind the soaked rice-dal mixture along with the spinach mixture and coconut with some salt. The mixture can be slightly coarse, that's totally fine.
4. You can make the adai immediately. Make sure both sides are cooked until slightly golden. I used gingelly oil to cook them up.
Serve hot with coconut chutney. For a change, I served it with one of my favourites - chow chow kootu - and tomato thokku. Yum!
Thanks for the awesome recipe Anu! You rock :)

Perfect!
i generally add spinach to almost all dosa batters and even to chapathi dough
add to pesarattu (Moongdal dosa) it adds even more color .Reply

I am looking for a particular adai recipe and this one looks similar to that except for the spinach part!Love tomato thokku wth dosas,the no-fermenting part is the best when it comes to adai I guess!Reply

I have this bookmarked too. The no fermenting part is the best thing about adais and love the addition of spinach!Reply

Love this easy and no-fuss-about-fermenting recipe and will definitely try it. Does this keep well or needs to be consumed immediately? The reason I asked is, can I give it to my children in their lunch boxes?Reply

yes sure you can send them these adais in their lunch boxes. it won't taste as good as when freshly made though

Hi there, thank you so much for leaving a note on my recipes and posts. I really appreciate it and do read every single one of them although it's not always possible to reply individually. I wish I could hire some people to do all the boring stuff in my life while I reply to all of you all day.
That was not even a joke!
Browse around, have fun. Hope you come back to visit soon.
