WHEAT FLOUR ADAI/GODHUMAI ADAI – SPICY VERSION

Godumai adai,with onion raita

             One can call this south Indianized onion paratha! Who cares about the name when it tastes awesomeSmug. My mom makes this for dinner and I was not a big fan of this before marriage…And after marriage when I made this,my hubby loved it and me too realized the taste and flavour of this one and started liking this! I made this yesterday for dinner… Flavoured with sambar powder,its truly south IndianBig Grin!

Ingredients: (makes 6 adais)

Wheat flour 1 & 1/2 cups
Onion 1 , big sized
Sambhar powder 1 & 1/2 tsp
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves 1 sprig
Salt 1 tsp
Water As needed
Jeera (optional) 1 tsp

Method:

  1. Chop the onions finely, add the chopped onions,turmeric,sambhar powder,salt,curry leaves to the flour and mix well.
  2. Ingredients
  3. Add water (for me it consumed 1/2 cup plus little more) and make a smooth dough. Divide into six equal sized balls.
  4. Dough
  5. Take a polythene film over a platform and grease it with few drops of oil. Flatten the dough ball with hands into a little bit thicker than roti.
  6. flatten
  7. Heat a flat pan,drizzle with oil and toast the adai both the sides in medium flame till golden brown spot appears….
  8. toast  both sides
  9. Serve hot with raitha of your choice…my mom makes a raita with golden fried onions+curd,seasoned with mustard,urad dal and curry leaves. The best combo for this adai.

Godhuma adai

              I dint add jeera. You can also add the onions to the adai after sautéing it. Also you can add a chopped tomato,after frying it… Replace sambar powder with 1 tsp of red chilli powder and 1/2 tsp dhaniya (coriander) powder. Apt for dinner!
