Adai upma
In many of our homes, adai is the least favoured recipe as it seems to be dry and heavy. But when my mom makes adai, i just love it. She adds in shallots, grated coconut and makes adai roast with coconut chutney. ☺ yummm !!
This upma can be made with leftover batter or can be made with freshly prepared batter. Chopped Onions and grated coconut can also be added if you wish. We use coconut oil for this recipe but you can use any oil of your taste.
