Navadanya adai

Whenever i plan to diet (yes i do),I mutually end up to see all sort of delicious food…That really put me off…But rather i plan to diet, I should plan to have more self-control in eating high calorie food….The navadhanya adai is known to me before a year through this Contest, the second runner up made this..So, Its not jus healthy, but delicious too. I remember many americans running for this adai  ” Aunty, One more Haadai, please…Its jus so yum, but the chattney is quiet spicy ” 🙂

Tips
1.Dont make batter completely coarsely as it takes so much time to cook
2.Making the batter to thin as we do for dosa is also fine
