Kaikari adai (Vegetable, rice & pulses pan cake)

Vegetable Adai - preparation time 2 to 2.5 hrs
Adai itself is a healthy recipe because we are using different types of dhal. Now we are going to make this adai much more healthy by adding vegetable to the adai mavu. I tasted this adai in my sister-in-laws home
. This adai will be colourful and taste differently when comparing to normal adai.

Ingredients:-
Boiled rice - 2 cup (wash rice and soak for 2 hrs)

Bengal gram(Kadalai paruppu) - ½ cup (wash dal and soak for 2 hrs)
Toor dal (Thuvaram paruppu) - ½ cup (wash dal and soak for 2 hrs)
Mung dal (Pasi paruppu) - 1/4 cup
Mustard seed - ¼ tsp
Sesame oil -4 tsp
Urad dhal - 3 tbsp
Chili - 6 (can increase according to your spice)(soak in water)
Cumin seed (Jeera) - 2 tbsp (soak in water)
Beetroot - peeled and finely chopped 2 tbsp
ginger - peeled and finely chopped 1/2 tsp
Carrot - peeled and finely chopped 2 tbsp
Coconut - chopped to small cubes 2 tbsp
Fennel seed (Saunf) - 2 tbsp (soak along with cumin)
Salt to taste
Water - to grind
Asafoetida - ¼ tsp
Curry leaves - 10 (finely chopped)
Small onion - 20 (peeled and chopped fine)

Preparation method:-
In mixer grind rice along with fennel seed, cumin seed, chili, required water (don't add too much water) to coarse paste (like rava).

In mixer grind soaked dal's and mix with grinded rice mixture. We have to be careful while grinding the dal else it will become like a paste.
Now in a tawa heat oil and add mustard seed. Once it splutters add urad dal and roast till golden brown.
Add chopped beetroot, carrot, coconut, small onion, curry leaves and fry till cooked.
Finally add asafoetida.
Switch off and add to ground rice & dal mixture.
Mix all the ingredients well. and keep aside for 1/2 hr (you can also use immediately.

Take required amount of adai flour, add required amount of water to make adai in tawa.
Use this adai flour (mavu) and make adai in heated tawa. You can use sesame oil or coconut oil to cook adai.
Side dish is not required because of variety of vegetables in the adai.
