Murungai Keerai Adai

Murungai Keerai Adai
Adai is a South Indian crepe prepared with variety of dals and Rice.  It is a protein and iron rich breakfast / dinner recipe.  Murungai Keerai Adai is a very famous recipe of Kongunadu. Drumstick leaves are rich in iron when compared to other green leaves. My mom usually grind the dals and add the drumstick leaves before preparing the Adai. In order to make my Kid eat, I have slightly modified the recipe by grinding the drumstick leaves also  Otherwise he will remove the leaves from Adai before eating. My kid really loved this Adai. Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing South Indian Crispy Adai.
