Drumstick leaves(Murungai Ilai) Adai

Adai is my dad’s favorite tiffin. Always my mom used to used it when I was a kid. So now days I try to make this on every weekends. This adai is very tasty when you use some extra oil and cook it on low flame. This goes very well with sambar and chutney. I love to have it as it is because adai itself has red chilly in it. This also has coconut pieces which gives a nice crunch when you bite into it. This is a great way of sneaking drumstick leaves in the menu. Not only this taste good, but also it is protein and iron rich breakfast one of the best dosas I have ever made and tasted is Adai which is full of protein packed. Makes a very nutritious, filling breakfast for kids.
