ADA

I have given the authentic way of preparing the ada. I have also given the short cut how I make.
Or you can buy the ready made in the shop.


ADA

Ingredients:

For Ada:
250 grms raw rice soaked drained and ground into fine powder.
Few banana leaves

Method:
Add water slowly and mix the rice powder to get the right
consistency. The batter should be smooth and thin, but thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Rinse the banana leaves and and toast over the stove for few seconds,
they become pliable.
Smear little ghee on each piece of leaf, and spread on a thin layer of rice batter. Roll the leaves into cylinders and tie with a string.

Bring water to a boil in a heavy saucepan, when the water starts boiling,
Add the rolled up leaf, reduce the heat and cook for about 10 minutes.
Remove from the water and drain, open the leaves and let it cool.
When it has cooled peel off the ada and cut into thin flakes.
approximately one- sixteenth of an inch in length and width.
You can dry them and keep for later use.
Note: This is how my grand ma makes. The banana leaves will give a good aroma.
I usually pour the flour into a greased tray and steam it
