Yellow Split Peas Dal Adai - Pattani Paruppu Adai - Tiffin Recipes

Yellow split peas adai (Pattani paruppu adai) - easy to make adai recipe with step-by-step pictures and full video. Yellow split peas look similar to chana dal, but it tastes different. This is a simple tiffin recipe made with yellow split peas, rice, urid dal, chillies, onions and curry leaves. The addition of the yellow split peas makes this adai so unique and gives the crispness. You might all now think, what is the difference between chana dal and yellow split peas dal? Both the dals are popular in Tirunelveli cuisine. Yellow split peas dal has a soft texture with mild flavour. Yellow split peas dal is widely used in masala vadai, kara vadai, adai and also the ground split peas flour is added in omapodi, karasev and bajji flour.

For this adai we have to add equal amounts of dal and rice. Soak them for three hours and then grind the batter with red chillies and green chilles. And add some onions, curry leaves and coriander leaves. When it comes to adai, everyone has their own unique style and all of them taste good. Some prefer thick adai, some prefer crispy adai and there is no one method of preparation. After grinding the batter, add water to bring it to your consistency. I ground the batter in the wet grinder, so I ground the chillies in a mixer jar and then mixed it to the batter. You can grind it in the mixer jar too. If grinding in the mixer jar, first grind the chillies and then add the dals and rice. Usually for adai batter it tooks only ten minutes to grind but it also depends on the soaking time. So, adjust the timing accordingly. Make sure to grind the batter slightly coarse, so it tastes good. Now let's see how to prepare yellow split peas dal adai.

A healthy diabetic friendly kichadi recipe made with wheat rava.

A handful of fresh green peas gives a slightly sweet taste for the kichadi. There are two main varieties of wheat rava - medium coarse and fine coarse. Fine coarse wheat rava is my favourite for kichadi and upma dishes. Medium coarse wheat rava is perfect for sweet pongal and payasam.
