Millet Adai

Healthy breakfast, high in fibre, protein and gluten free.

Adai is a healthy South Indian Breakfast dish made with rice and a few varieties of dals/ lentils or millets. The ingredients are soaked and ground to a batter. This Millet Adai is a combination of Little Millet (Samai), Foxtail Millet (thinai), Barnyard Millet (kutharavalli).

Samai Arisi or Little Millet  is the healthy alternative for the regular rice as a meal. Higher in fibre and complex carbs, it is good for managing blood sugar levels. Foxtail millet also called as Thinai in Tamil is also a good source of complex carbs and a substitute for regular, processed rice. The addition of lentils allows the batter to mix well and create a bonding nature to hold the dosa/adai together.

Nutritious and highly filling, this Millet Adai is an excellent alternative for a meal and can be served with a variety of chutneys or Sambhar.
