Onion Adai - By VahChef @ VahRehVah.com | Vahchef - VahRehVah

Onion Adai is a variation from the normal plain Adai. This dish is commonly known as Vengaya adai in Tamil nadu. It is a type of Indian pancake or crepe made of lentils, rice and finely chopped onions mixed in the batter to make it very tasty and flavourful. You could also add shallots which will enhance the flavours and make the pancakes more delicious. Hot onion adai straight from the tawa with a blob of butter or ghee is truly tempting. Adai as such is a protein packed, highly nutritious snack. Channa dal, one of the main ingredients of Adai is rich in protein and has glycemix index.
