Adai , South Indian Adai Dosa, how to prepare no fermentation mixed lentils spicy dosa

Today's recipe is Adai || South Indian Adai Dosa || Mixed lentils Dosa, it is very protein rich, tasty, popular breakfast recipe from Tamil Nadu and other areas of South India. It is prepared by soaking different lentils and grinding with spicies. We add lentils like urad dal, toor dal, chana dal, rice .. spices like red chilli , ginger etc.. is not it protein rich dosa ?? We can have it as breakfast or evening snack or even for dinner. For me i can have it in lunch time too when i am alone at home. We can have this with Coconut Chutney, Pudina coconut chutney, Green chutney, onion tomato chutney.. i even love to have as it is without any chutney too, as it is spicy and tasty without chutney too, today i had it with roasted cdal + coconut chutney(putnala kobari pachadi).

My mom add fresh coconut while grinding adai batter as it gives good taste. We have to soak lentils for minimum 3 hrs, for morning breakfast i soak it overnight. No need to ferment the batter, we have to prepare dosa's on the same day, or store it in refrigerator for next day not more than that. I prefer to dosa's for 1 day and with left over batter i prepare panniyaram's (appe, ponganallu).

Nagaland - Pumpkin Oambal, How to prepare Naga land's Pumpkin Oambal recipe.

Today's recipe is Nagaland's famous chutney Pumpkin Oambal. It is very yummy with sweet and sour taste. I know what you are thinking that why I am posting Nagaland's recipe all of a sudden right?? Let me explain first recently I joined in Shhhhh Secretly Cooking Challenge fb group with the help of Priya Iyer - thephotowali is her site. And Renu Agarwal - Cookwithrenu is her site. And the admin Mayuri Patel - Mayuris-jikoni is her site, thanks for approving my request. In Shhhhh Secretly Cooking Challenge fb group every month they select one state and pair two group members. Both share secret ingredients and others has to guess it later. At the end of the month we have to publish the recipe, so that's the reason today I am posting Nagaland's recipe 😍.

My Nagaland partner is Renu Agarwal, she gave me red chilli and Tamarind and I gave her green chilli and ginger as two secret ingredients. I checked many sites for this recipes, and stopped at Annapurna blog - Poonam Bachhav ji's blog.

A small information about Nagaland - It is a state in North east of India. It is the 16th state of India with 16 different tribes. They eat meat which includes dogs, cats, rats, monkeys, birds etc., consume extremely hot and spicy food, they use Naga king chilli called as bhut jolika which is the hottest chilli pepper. Naga cusine include both vegetable dish and meat dish which is smoked, dried or fermented. Naga's prefer most edible organic leaves, fermented bamboo shoots with fish and pork. (information from wiki)

Coming to recipe, pumpkin Oambal is very tasty with sweet and sour from tamarind and jaggery and we also add raisins which I loved it alot. At first I was scared to taste it. But trust me it is very unique taste, in a glance it felt like Odisha's khata mita chutney which I nd hubby used to love alot in Puri Jagannath temple 😍.
