The traditional 'Nombu Adai'

Ingredients :
Rice flour - 1 cup
Jaggery - 1 cup
'Karamani' dal - 25 gms
Coconut - 1/4 of a coconut (cut into small pieces)
Cardamom / Elaichi powder - 1 tsp

Method :
First fry the rice flour, without oil, till it turns slightly golden in color.
It should be cleaned without any rice hard particles in the flour.

Now boil the Jaggery in 1 and 1/2 cup of water till you create the 'Vellai paagu' / Jaggery liquid.

Lightly fry the 'Karamani' dal and cook in the pressure cooker and set aside.

Now add the rice flour, coconut pieces and 'Karamani' dal in the 'Vellai paagu' and make a mixture similar to that for Upma.

Final Preparation : Now prepare Vadais with a hole in between them and steam it in an Idli stand in the cooker.
