Expert Tips
Rice and dal may looks sticky after pressure cooking , once it cools down it becomes separated and this kali is meant to be like this(fluffy) not like our usual kali consistency. I used paagu vellam hence the bright reddish color.You can use normal round jaggery too.I prepared the jaggery syrup the previous day and refrigerated it. For neiveidhyam they make 7 adais as the count is auspicious on that day. Take care not to overroast rice and dal. If using readymade idiyappam flour, dry roast for few mins till smoke appears then use it.Dont overroast which will end up breaking the adais. You can even add grated coconut while serving. The consistency is very important for the adai else while toasting the adai will tend to break. Dont be tempted to add more jaggery than the mentioned amount. You can make lemon sized balls and make the adai even bigger in size. Even while toasting take care not to turn over often just once is enough for it to get cooked. The adais should not break, so be very careful while making the dough.
