It was one of those usual mornings in Hong Kong ( where we used to live earlier ) , my hubby had left to the ferry point to catch a ferry to the office while I decided to go out for a quick morning walk. I took a longer than usual stroll as I spent sometime near the beach as the morning breeze and the soft rush of the waves was quite welcoming. While walking back home I bumped into an Indian aunt and those days it used to feel great to talk to someone from your place. After the usual greetings I got to know that she stays near our house.We chatted for a long while and then she invited me to come to her house for a quick cup of coffee.That one cup of coffee turned into a proper breakfast where I got to taste this moong adai for the first time. I liked the taste so I took the recipe immediately and experimented it that weekend. From that day this has joined my breakfast menu.
I am sharing you some snaps which we have taken from our house in Hongkong.Guys,Disney Land wass just on the other side of the sea and we got to see the fireworks of Disney Land directly from our Living room window and from the bed room window overlooked the HongKong Skyline.On the weekends lots of boating,surfing activities will be going on which we could see from our house...Oh..!! I miss that place now badly..:)
Ingredients:
2 Cups Raw rice
1 Cup Whole green moong(Pesalu)
5-6 Green chillies
Salt to taste
Method:
- Soak rice and green moong separately for 4-5 hrs.
- Grind rice to a very fine mixture,then add the green moong and green chillies and grind it a coarse mixture.You should really feel the moong dal when we touch it.
- Add salt to the ground mixture and mix well.Ferment it overnight or for 8-9 hrs.
- Prepare Adai's as thin as possible with some drops of oil on Tawa.They come out really crisp.
I am sending this to Nag's 'Ravishing Rice' Event Which was originally started by Meeta.

ReplyDeleteawesome dish prathibha......whenever i try to comment on ur posts, some error is shown and it gets aborted automatically!
ReplyDeletePesarattu looks great... We make it with a slightly different proportion, yours looks cripsy and flaky with more rice... shall take a note of your ratio...

ReplyDeletedosa looks yumm..and the pictures are just tempting me to visit hongkong soon..
ReplyDeleteI too like my adais nice & crisp.:)
ReplyDeleteI thought this was called pesarattu. Also, no fermentation involved in most adais (if I'm not mistaken) which is why I like it compared to idli-dosa. No need to plan ahead of time.
wow this is the crispiest adai i have ever seen . i m surely trying this.
ReplyDeleteA great presentation... I have a friend who makes this often and swears how tasty it is... I am ready to try it...
ReplyDeleteDosa luks very crispy...I make this but the measurements r different...This time I'll try wid this measures...
ReplyDeleteI had a connecting flight in Hong kong two years back, I liked the city skycrapers can be watched from the airport.

ReplyDeleteThank you all for visting my blog n leaving those lovely words..Glad u all liked the photos..
ReplyDelete@Bhawna, @Cilantro, @Kittymatti Thanks for visiting my blog..
@TBC Generally for adai the batter need not 2 be fermented,but i liked the taste n crispiness of the Adai because of the fermented batter.It actually enhanced the taste.
@Nags Definitely i would send this.It did not strike me that i can send this for your event...

ReplyDeleteAdai looks crispy and yummy. beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have tasted with daals and rice and only with sprouted moong. I like this idea.
ReplyDeleteHey, you lived in HK? We lived there for 2 yrs. Isn't it a lovely place to live in? I miss it too much. YOur pics brought back many memories..sigh!
ReplyDeleteAdai looks so crunchy and thin. Bravo Prathibha! Good one :)
The view from your Hong Kong home is breathtaking, Pratibha. But I'm absolutely riveted by the short ingredient list for this adai, and by the use of mung. Sounds delicious. I wonder if one could add finely chopped veggies to it?
ReplyDeleteThank you all..
ReplyDelete@Vaishali....I think u can add the vegetables to the batter,but the only pbm is you wont get thin n crispy ones,the adai will be bit thicker.Otherwise u add the grated versions of those vegetables.
Adai looks simply superb dear. Looks so crunch and yumm...What a beautiful pictures u have uploaded. Looks very nice. I am sure you are enjoying every moment of it:).
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful view from your house!!! Gosh, just breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteThe adai seems to be so crispy and great, just they way I like it sometimes.
Lovely snaps and so the adai :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so crisp and awesome.. i think it's due to the higher proportion of rice in this.
ReplyDeleteAdai looks so crispy..will try this out...really mouthwatering
ReplyDeleteI love the adai's picture!! Brilliant and Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a good recipe. Right now not in India. When I get back to my own kitchen, I plan to make it right away. Fermentation out here is a pain! And definitely not the right season too.
ReplyDeleteMade them. Very nice
ReplyDeleteI tried these adais but my one didn't come out brown like urs.They became chewy when i keep on tawa for long time and also white colour.Is it becos my rice grinding was coarse?Please tell me what was wrong. I also tried ur paper dosa and was very nice.
ReplyDeleteWow awesome place dear... Hope u never get bored... this adai my fav too...
