Thiruvathirai Adai, Thiruvathirai Kali Recipe

January 2, 2013 by Sharmilee J 15 Comments

Thiruvathirai Adai

I wanted to make this thiruvathirai adai and kali since last year…. Last week when perimma casually said about the preparation going on for thiruvathirai it striked me that I missed it this year too. I got the recipe from her and I made it 2 days later to post it here. As we dont have the custom of celebrating the occassion this is the first time I am making both kali and adai and am completely satisfied with the results which justifies the post here šŸ™‚ Thiruvathirai kootu recipe is still pending which I will post by next year šŸ™‚

Thiruvathirai Adai and Thiruvathirai Kali

Thiruvathirai Kali Recipe – Ingredients

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Serves : 2

  3. Then pulse(grind) it to coarse just to break the rice and dal. Pressure cook with 1 cup water for 2 whistles in medium low flame and switch off. Once pressure releases, carefully give a mix.It may look sticky at this stage, if so just fluff it up.Now heat up the prepared jaggery syrup and add cooked rice mong dal mixture.

Thiruvathirai Kali

Thiruvathirai Adai Recipe – Ingredients

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Sweet | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian

      How to make thiruvathirai adai - Step1
  1. At one stage it will form a mass without sticking to the pan, this is the right stage to switch off. Once it is hand bearable hot knead it to smooth dough…add a tsp of oil/ghee if it sticks.Form 7 equal sized balls(size is your preference) and flatten them on a ziplock cover / plaintain leaf with your finger tips to 1/4 inch thickness. Repeat the same till the dough is finished.Heat dosa tawa and toast the adai till golden brown, Drizzle oil / ghee…flip over carefully to other side to cook evenly on both sides. Take care not to break the adais.
    How to make thiruvathirai adai - Step2

My Notes:

  • Rice and dal may looks sticky after pressure cooking , once it cools down it becomesĀ separatedĀ and this kali is meant to be like this(fluffy) not like our usual kali consistency.
  • I used paagu vellam hence the bright reddish color.You can use normal round jaggery too.I prepared the jaggery syrup the previous day and refrigerated it.
  • For neiveidhyam they make 7 adais as the count isĀ auspiciousĀ on that day.
  • Take care not to overroast rice and dal.
  • If using readymade idiyappam flour, dry roast for few mins till smoke appears then use it.Dont overroast which will end up breaking the adais.
  • You can even add grated coconut while serving.
  • The consistency is very important for the adai else while toasting the adai will tend to break. Dont be tempted to add more jaggery than the mentioned amount.
  • You can make lemon sized balls and make the adai even bigger in size.
  • Even while toasting take care not to turn over often just once is enough for it to get cooked.
  • The adais should not break, so be very careful while making the dough.
