how to make ragi sweet adai

Grease a tawa with ghee and heat it. Transfer the flattened ragi  adai to your hand and then place it on the hot tawa. If you had flattened it on plantain leaf, you can place the adai on the tawa (adai facing down) with the leaf and then slowly remove the leaf.

Drizzle a tsp of ghee around the adai and cook both sides of the adai until done. (the color of the adai will change from light brown to dark brown once it is cooked). Repeat the same process for the rest of the dough.

Enjoy it hot. You do not need any side dish for this.

Note – You can also flatten the ragi dough  directly on the tawa itself  before heating it. But you have to wait for the tawa to cool down before flattening the next adai or you can have a spare tawa.

Variations – You can also add more water and make small dosas for kids.

    Hi Padhu, this dish brings back my childhood memories. My grandmother used to make this. But for some reason I never used to make this. Today i tried making the sweet aadai for my son, it tasted good but was hard to chew. Didn't know where I went wrong. Any suggestions??

      You can apply enough ghee (for sweet adai) and cook on medium heat so that it will be soft. Moreover you should consume it when it is warm.
