About Adai

Adai is a nutrient-rich, savory pancake originating from South Indian cuisine, traditionally made from a blend of rice and lentils such as chana dal, toor dal, and urad dal. This hearty dish is flavored with spices like red chilies, asafoetida, and curry leaves, often mixed with grated vegetables for added nutrition. High in protein and fiber, Adai supports digestion and helps sustain energy levels throughout the day. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, it's a balanced meal that can be enjoyed as breakfast or dinner. Typically cooked on a griddle with minimal oil, it's a filling, wholesome alternative to heavier fried snacks. While Adai is generally healthy, its calorie content can increase when paired with fatty accompaniments like ghee or creamy chutneys. For a lighter option, enjoy it with a fresh vegetable side or coconut chutney to maximize its nutritional benefits.
