Preparation Method of Elai Adai Recipe
For the outer covering:-
1)Soak equal amounts of raw rice and boiled rice for 2 - 3 hrs.

2)Grind them fine adding salt and jaggery.

:- The consistency should be slightly (only) thinner than dosa batter.

For the filling:-
1)If you are using fresh fruit, mince it fine, cook for a while and add jaggery and grated coconut.

2)You should get the dough like consistency.

3)If you are using chakka varatti , first mix grated coconut with powdered jaggery(this will be real sweet) and put it on fire and stir to make the filling.

:- This can be done in the microwave for 4 - 5 mins.

4)Add 2 tbsp(or less) of chakka varatti and mix well.

5)Remove from flame.

6)Take plantain leaves(this imparts the adai the real flavour) and cut them to roughly 6”square pieces.

7)Clean and show them over the stove for a few seconds to make them flexible.

8)Spread 2 tbsp of the ground batter on the leaf like a thin dosa.

9)Place 2 tbsp of the filling on top of it and fold it into half.

10)Keep the steamer ready and steam 3 or 4 at a time for 7 - 8 mins.

:- Serve hot or cold.

There is no way that a batter thinner than that of dosa consistency can be spread on a plantain leaf! It will ooze outta the leaf and mess up the whole place. The outer cover for the ada should be a soft dough made outta fine rice powder. Mix the rice powder with boiling salt water and prepare a soft dough. This should be spread on the leaf to make the outer cover for the ada. The rest of the recipe looks ok.
