MILLET UPMA ADAI | SAMAI /LITTLE MILLET UPMA ADAI | MILLET RECIPES

Samai-upma-adai
Millets recipes whenever i think about that, ideas keep flooding my mind. I am posting Millet recipes every Monday and today i have prepared an interesting recipe with Little Millet | Samai. I wanted to post pidi kozhukattai recipe using millet, but suddenly changed my mind and made these thavala adai. Generally my grandma makes this with raw rice. She drizzles loads of oil and make this so crispy. She has a lot of patience to make it for a big family too. I just made in small quantity just for this post and of course, we all had today during tea time. Try this healthy snack with any variety of millet like varagu, kuthiraivali and thinai  too.

Notes:
  1. You can try this with any variety of millet . 
  2. While cooking the millet ensure the water is completely absorbed.
  3. Alternatively you can steam the mixture and make upma pidi kozhukattais too.
  4. Instead of toor dal you can add moong dal too.
  5. Adding coconut instead of carrot enhances the taste.
  6. Adding coconut oil while cooking also enhances the taste.
