I had asked the gardener to plant some shallots. There were lots of leaves, so requested him to get me some leaves alone, this lazy guy, pulled out the plants, as the shallots had not grown full. As we stopped buying oily snacks from outside, as it doesn't suit both of us, asked hubby if I can make some fresh onion leaves adai. He said fine for our afternoon tea.
To make this healthy, I added jackfruit flour, as it is supposed to be good for diabetes, along with rice flour and rava / semolina. As I've ulcer right from esophagus to the stomach, I didn't out green chilies, as even if I add one green chili, it is so spicy that I can't eat, so added little pepper powder. You can add green chilies finely chopped or red chili pdr. too.
INGREDIENTS
there is no hard and fast rule here for the proportion. You can use only rava or only rice flour. But I added more of rice flour, about 3 heaped tsp of jackfruit flour, and rava about 2 heaped tbsp.
Rice flour
rava / semolina
jackfruit flour
pepper pdr / green chilies chopped to taste / red chili pdr.
salt to taste
spring onion green about 1/2 cup chopped
oil to cook.
water to mix to a thick batter
METHOD
put all the ingredients except oil, mix well to a thick dough.
heat a tawa, I used iron tawa, heavy one, smear little oil, once hot, take a handful of batter and spread quickly as thin as you can, you wet your hand to spread, make some holes on it after a minute, put little oil on each hole, after 2-3 minutes, turn once the side is brown.
Spread little oil i the holes, cook till crisp, remove serve hot with milgai podi or any chutney of your choice. I ate it plain.
Tip- mixing jackfruit flour, helps to lower the blood sugar level, so I mix little to my roti atta, when I make stuffed paranthas or plain paranthas, also to our kanji with oats, multigrain atta mixed with jackfruit flour along with jaggery.
Wish all good health, peace and happiness. Take care, have your vaccines, wear masks, don't go to crowded places, maintain social distancing.
