Hi All,

INSTANT ADAI MIX!! Whenever I go to super markets , I use to stare at this Instant mix section for long time reading the ingredients list in each packet.I always wanted to keep some instant mix in home but in all packets I saw added preservatives so I never buy them.

I want to try something on my own and I tried adai mix first as it requires no fermentation.The process is little long but its worth a trying.

With this adai mix powder my morning breakfast tension is solved..pls follow the recipe and tips for perfect adai that tastes like fresh adais.

NOTES :

1. Grind the powder to little coarse to give fresh taste.
2. Even you can fry and grind the ingredients without washing but I suggest you to wash and dry and then grind to remove impurities.
3. You can add any lentils for your choice.
4. I don't like the raw smell of adais so I always ferment them a little , so even in instant mix I added curd ,you can skip curd and add water only also.
5. You can even mix the instant powder with water and keep it in fridge overnight also.
   HAPPY COOKING!!
