Karthigai milagu adai recipe a savoury adai made for any occassions especially for Karthigai Deepam.Karthigai Adai Recipe

Karthigai milagu adai recipe with step by step pictures. A traditional adai made for Karthigai Deepam using rice, dal and black pepper.

When I was googling for karthigai deepam recipes which I have not tried so far, I found this milagu adai (also called as karthigai adai or pepper adai) quite interesting. Though the ingredients looked much similar to the adai we make, the end result with the pepper flavour and coconut crunch it was so different! It tasted good by itself but with a dollop of  butter or jaggery its the best combo!

About this karthigai milagu adai recipe:

Milagu adai is a traditional snack we make for Karthigai Deeepam. To begin with, soak rice and dal in mentioned proportion then grind to a thick batter, add freshly ground pepper along with salt,coconut,curry leaves then make a batter thicker than dosa batter in consistency. Make small slightly thick adais in dosa tawa.

Variations :

  • You can add cumin seeds along with pepper, crush it and then add to batter.
  • You can replace grated coconut with coconut bits for extra crunch.

Storing and Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve it with butter and enjoy.
  • I wouldn’t suggest storing this adai, instead make the batter ahead and store it in fridge, keeps well for about a week.
