Ok, just grabbed my laptop to scribble the post on my Nombu adais. The previous post was the sweet version. Nice and brown..sweet and yummy!! This one is spicy and salty. For those like my husband who enjoy spicy to sweet, this variety is for you.

Ingredients
Rice flour 1 cup
Water 2 cups
Karamani/Red beans 1 tbspn
Coconut 2 tbspn
Green chilli chopped/grated 3-4
Curry leaves handful
Red chilli whole - 2
Mustard seeds 1/2 tspn
Urad dal 1/2 tspn
Salt
Ginger grated a spoon
Oil

For karamani as in sweet version this also must be soaked and pressure cooked.
For the dough I grind the roasted rice powder and water to make a batter like in my previous post. Heat 1 tbspn oil. When warm add in mustard seeds , urad dal seeds ,green chilli, ginger,curry leaves and Red chilli broken and stir.

Add salt and boiled karamani. Stir on medium flame for few minutes. Reduce the flame and add the rice batter.

Keep stirring on low flame until the batter thickens and resembles a dough. It must leave the sides of the pan and become soft ball like. Wrap in a wet handkerchief and take a small portion of the dough.

Take a butter paper and pat the ball flat, make a small hole in the centre. Steam the adais for 12 mins without a whistle . Let it cool and offer to the Goddess.
