MIXED MILLET ADAI | THINAI AND SAMAI ADAI
This is a protein packed healthy and delicious recipe made with millets and lentils.Normally I prepare adai with rice and lentils, but as the importance of millets and its benefits is much more when compared to rice, I thought of replacing it. In this recipe I have used two types of millets Thinai (Foxtail) and Samai (Little Millet). You can also try with other millets.
