Murungai Keerai Adai (Drumstick Leaves Adai)


We can't list out the benefits of murungai Keerai as it has innumerable benefits.. It increases appetite, helps to reduce diarrhea, and it also reduces blood sugar level..

It was a very difficult task for me to make my husband eat  Murungai keerai.. Tried this adai for the first time.. He din't even know that i have added  murungai keerai.. He has thought that it was just curry leaves... yeah!! Mission accomplished!! .. From then ,started packing a big bunch of keerai when ever we visit our native... Here is that amazing recipe.. And one more advantage.. You needn't ferment the batter.. You can start cooking adai as soon as you grind the batter..

Procedure:

  • Soak everything under the title 'to soak' for atleast 2 - 3 hrs.
  • Then grind it along with the things under the title 'Things to be grinded with'.
  • Heat oil in  a pan.  Add everything under ' for sesoning'.. Its enough to saute murungai keerai just for 2-3 minutes. After that pour the sesoning in the batter.. No need to ferment the batter.. you can start preparing adai immediately.
  • Heat a dosai pan.. Grease it with oil.. add the batter to the pan and expand it like adai.. Apply oil to it.. Once both sides are done, remove from the flame and serve it!!!
  • I am serving adai with Coconut Chutney
