Ragi Adai Recipe

I love ragi adai so much both sweet and spicy versions.It was a regular evening snack during my school days, amma makes both sweet and savory.Though those days I was not this fond of this ragi adai, but wouldn’t complain eating it once in a while.But now attimes when the tummy kicks for evening snacks, I make the sweet version and enjoy it.Yesterday I craved for this adai so made and clicked it to post as well.Will post the sweet version soon hopefully if I make it in the near future 🙂

  6. Carefully flip the adais on the dosa tawa without the sheet touching the tawa.Or else you can remove the adais with your hands and then place them on tawa,Toast the adais on both the sides, drizzle oil.Flip over only when one side is cooked.How to make Ragi Adai Recipe - Step5

Serve hot with coconut chutney.

Ragi Adai Recipe

My Notes:

  • You can make big adais too.
  • You can even add murungakeerai / drumstick leaves to this adai.Just saute for a minute and add it to the flour then form the dough.
  • Make sure to cook on one side , only then flip over to other side else it will stick and will not be easy to turn over.
  • Ragi flour absorbs good amount of water, so boil more water.
  • The dough should be moist and sticky, if its dry then the adais will have splits and will break while toasting.The consistency of the dough is more like the kozhukattai dough but sticky.
  • Grease your fingers with little oil so that it doesn’t stick while flattening the adais.
  • Adding boiling water helps to cook the flour partially, amma always insists to add boiling water so I follow the same.But you can add normal water too.

    Thank you Sharmi, this is my dream dish, I ate this in school days, now got the pakka recipe from you. Please give the sweet version soon, so we make this as weekend special at home. The photographs are really so good, tempting to make and taste soon. Adai texture is able to see clearly in photos, Oru pattu pudavai design and colour combo… Dark Brown adai in green valai illai plate, with light green chutney bowl with white chutney, more lighter green backdrop, orange and green colourful napkin…. your colour combination, creativity, the photo shows the thin… crispy.. feel of the adai…really you are very creative person. Your food photography is excellent. Keep it up.

    Hi Sharmijee
    Thanks for the recipe. Actually this recipe had slipped out of my mind though we enjoyed this a lot as kids. We always used to pat these rottis on plantain leaves and cook this on an iron tawa. I will cook this for my daughter tomorrow itself.

    I make ragi adai often. You recipe sounds good, for sure I am going to give it a try. Mine usually has drumstick leaves. Something about its smell adds extra flavor to the adai.
