Adai - Lentil Crepes

[AYMK673SH]

I Love the recipe. thanks to you I know now how to do it..

[Calicocat2]

Love the recipe, but I always soak for 4 hours. One hour seems way to short. What do you think?



[pariapsara]

great to see mom and daughter cooking together.

[MultiLITTLECUPCAKE]

Lovely pancake,I will try making it,two very nice cool calm Ladies.

[ajaygrover]

I tried this recipe. As advised I also soaked the rice and dal mixture for 1 hour but the ingredients were still coarse. You need to change the soaking time to at least 3 hours to get the batter that is shown in the video.

@ShowMeTheCurry Hi, i have a question. See im from the caribbean and a favorite dish throughout the west indies is chicken roti. And the way they make it is making these really thin crepes that we stuff chicken curry in. Now my question is how to make it do i use chic pea flour in it? please help

[MissConceptions1]

Hi can you please tell me if you can store the batter in the refrigerator or can it be frozen?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@MissConceptions1

You can keep the batter in the fridge for about 4-5 days, in the freezer for up to 4 months.

[MissConceptions1]

@ShowMeTheCurry Thank you! :O)

[LIVELISTENLAUGHLOVE]

Wow!! I have no idea about Indian food but this looked amazing and fun to cook. Really great vid.

[AthmanAKS]

Nice job ladies....As far as I know Adai is only made in Tamil Nau and especially by brahmins....now since u have showed this....I am glad that everyone will get a chance to taste this wonderful food......Let me say another small dish that u can make out of...when adai batter is left out (or make some more batter:-), u can make them into small pieces like bonda and u can just fry them using oil....try it out....it will taste 100 times more than adai...this is called as kunukku :-) (funny name)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@AthmanAKS

Thanks...we'll try it out next time.

@ranbhorgeeta

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[ytertyu]

you ladies make me hungry

[mgpatricia757]

I made dosas yesterday and I was wondering what is the advantage of working with the fermented mixture. I loved the consistency...

[michellefilby]

I just made these and they are awesome. I served them with mint yogurt chutney and mango chutney. They taste great on their own as well. Very filling and nutritious. Thank you ladies :)

[boscombefun]

looks lovely, thank you, i have a question about the various lentils and peas/beans, are they blended up from raw or have they been pre cooked and or soaked. i thought it was important to boil for ten minutes to expel any toxins, so of they are from raw does the short cooking time on the pan make it ok or as i said have you cooked them before blendng?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@boscombefun: The lentils are soaked

and then fine ground and then cooked.

[emailbms]

thinner ones tastes better than the regular thick ones..

[parakala1]

very good for health. lot of proteins.

[geaophelia]

It is better to say I am from Kerla, or wherever, and my relatives make it thicker. I prefer it thicker, and I love your show. That is a better commentary.

[nittu0304]

am frm south india, the adai should b spread out not so thin, should b thicker :)

[Rumyat]

I love Adai. Excellent. I am sure going to make it . You guys rock.

[zannachape]

I tried the recipe and it was delicious mmmm! I make yummy French crepes (I am french), but this is very much healthier. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

[TeteMenescal00]

It makes me sooooooooo hungry seing this!

[chirpysang]

[neglid]

Yummy and very nutritious snack.

[jamesusillXD]

And here i was looking for the post-metal band... o.O

[carolking]

Congratulations on promoting delicious Adai to the english speaking people. There was a time when no one knew what Adai was outside of Southern India.

Youtube has made exposure of one of the world's most sophisticated, ancient and affordable cuisines possible.

[Gourmetnut]

Looks just like a dosa, without having to wait to ferment the batter! I love it. It must have so much flavor with that ground up onion. Can you show us how to make the potato stuffing that is usually found in a dosa? Thank you!

[mskerripa]

I'm trying this tonight!!! thanks it looks so good !!

[einsteinwallah]

You mixed your language with English. Some international viewers may not understand your language names of herbs/spices. Otherwise it is good. In this also I am surprised that you are adding asafoetida. Please check with your original sources if this is how it is done in autheintic south indian tradition.

[VPP111]

what's peppercorns?Is it whole form of pepper?

Thanks for recipes.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Yes, the whole form is called peppercorns. You are welcome (for the recipe)

[subrayo]

I appreciate your efforts, thanks for all the recipes you post!

But please try to pronounce words from Indian languages with greater accuracy (that is, as they would be pronounced by native speakers of the language).

Thanks and I look forward to more recipes!!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Thanks for your feedback. Could you please clarify when you talk about our mispronunciation...we would not like to offend anyone or any culture, so will try and pronounce it the right way next time.

Thanks

[subrayo]

SHOWMETHECURRY:

I know you had no offense meant; and rest assured, no offense has been taken.

Adai is primarily a Tamil dish pronounced 'adai' and not 'adaai' in the language. That is what I wanted to point out.

The small blob of butter you had in the photo at the start of the video is a traditional accompaniment to adai. Way to go, ladies!!

And Anuja, your new hairstyle looks good!!

[WowieGuy]

"And Anuja, your new hairstyle looks good!!" kya yaar yahan bhi line maarna shuru ...... hehehe :)

[jaykarsmriti]

Thanks for all the recipes.I tried your recipe for eggplant in exotic spices and eggless cake and both tasted so good.Thanks.

Can you please post a video showing how to make khakras? I think making khakra is easier when you see and learn than just follow a text recipe.Thanks

[gk891]

Thanks for this vid. I've been eating dosas for breakfast for the last few months but I'll be eating these now. Not only are they healthier but I think they're tastier as well. Keep up the good work!
