Karadaiyan Nonmbu Adai

Couldnt be happier to receive credit from a person whi never does... Yeah talking about my hubby dear, appreciated me for making sonething new. Karadaiyan nonmbu , falls every second week of march . 7 yrs of relationship and hadthe opportunity to do it for the first time... How to make karadaiyan nonmbu? Got the recipe from my parents N in- laws . To start with, got confused with soaking the rice or to do with rice powder. Decided to go with rice powder wasnt hard at all for the starters. Waiting for the nonmbu thread from India ... Continued with the neivideiyam after all... Get ready with blackeyed peas cooked in the cooker and cocknut pieces . Dont worry if you dont buy coconut ,get the coconut flakes . This process of making both sweet and savoury took 20 mts only.

Recipe as follows:
For the sweet adai:
Rice flour/ arisi mavu- 1 cup Jaggery/vellam - 1 cup Cardoman powder -1 tsp Water- 1 cup
Method:
1. Fry the tice flour for two minutes kn medium flAme and take it out. 2. Put the water kn the vessel and add the cardomam powder , jaggery 3. Immediately add the rice flour and keep stirring in low-medium flame for about 10 mts till you find out it doesnt stick on your hand. Move it to different vessel and wait till it cools.
Make ball size and press it down just like adai with a hole inbetween. It yielded around 8 adais.place it inside idly plates and cook it for about 10 mts without no whistle.
Now coming to savoury adAi:
Ingredients: Rice flour/arisi mavu - 1 cup
Water - 1 and 1/4 cup
Green chillies-3 chopped finely

4. Stir in for sometime for about 10 mts.
Take it off and start making adais which will yielda about 8.

Grease the idly plates and place the adais for about 10 minutes with nk whistle.
