Ragi also known as finger millet adai – Kezhvaragu adai with drumstick leaves. This is my long time wish to try. I always make murungai keerai adai by adding murungai keerai to theadaibatter. Usually the drumstick leaves we buy in mustafa will be too much for sambar or kootu for 3 of us. So reserve little after cooking something and make adai. This time also I had a cup of drumstick leaves. So I thought I will try adding it to ragi adai. It was very flavorful along with ragi and I liked it. It’s very simple to make as well as a healthy one. I already have ragi adai recipe in my blog. So first I was thinking if I have to post, but thought of making new post with full video of ragi adai. So new one

Ingredients
Finger millet flour – 1 cup
Drumstick leaves – 1 cup
Onion – 1
Tomato – 1
Green chilli - 2
Salt – as needed
Mustard – 1/2 tsp

Drumstick leaves – 1 cup
Onion – 1
Tomato – 1
Green chilli - 2
Salt – as needed
Mustard – 1/2 tsp
Urad dal – 1 tsp
Oil – 1 tbsp
Method
- In a pan, temper with mustard and urad dal in oil. Add finely chopped onion, green chilli to it and fry till onion turns transparent.
- Add chopped tomato, washed drumstick leaves to it.
- Fry in medium or low flame for 2 minutes until it shrinks. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add ragi flour and salt to it. Mix well.
- Mix required water and make a dough. Divide into 4 equal sized balls.
- In a banana leaf or a food grade sheet like ziploc or butter paper, grease and flatten the ragi adai.
- Heat tawa with oil and transfer the adai to it by carefully inverting the paper over the tawa and peeling the paper off.
- Cook in medium flame covered with a lid for one or two minutes. Flip and cook for one more minute.
Notes
- Make sure to cook drumstick leaves in low heat. Otherwise it will turn dry.
- I deseeded the tomato and chopped to add it the dough.
- The heat from sauteed onion, keerai is enough to bind the flour. So mix immediately.
- You can add buttermilk or hot water to make the adai soft.
- Add green chilli generously. Otherwise it will be bland. You can also add red chilli powder in place of green chilli.
Serve hot with any chutney or sambar. I like it with curd.
