    Healthy, nutritious and no-ferment Godhumai Rava Adai recipe with step-wise pictures. Healthy, protein rich South Indian lentil pancakes are perfect for breakfast!

    Broken Wheat Rava Adai

    I have a healthy, quick no-ferment breakfast recipe made with different types of lentils and broken wheat – Godhumai Rava Adai. I love Adai, a thicker no-ferment version of the regular dosa. Adai is laid slightly thicker and cooked on a low flame until it turns really crisp at the bottom. I have shared different types of adai like Oats Adai, Kara Dosai/Adai Dosa, Murungai Keerai Adai or Ragi Adai already here and this is a variation, that doesn’t include any rice. I used broken wheat or samba ravai in the place of rice and it worked out so well.

    Godhumai Rava Adai

    So I got this recipe from my sister, she had made it for me when I was visiting her last year and I had been meaning to make at home ever since I got back home. You know me, the queen of procrastination – so it took me all these months to make something as simple and delicious as this. Its funny how necessity makes us try new things. The sister who got a wrong kind of broken wheat to make upma had to use up large quantities of it and hence started using it for making adai. As it happens, I ran out of idli and dosa rice one fine weekend, so I had to use up the same trick too 😀 So, you could use any kind of wheat or godhumai rava – samba wheat rava, bansi rava both work fine apart from broken wheat itself. I served it with Aviyal, a classic combination down South and it was a big hit!

    Recipe Notes

    • Additionally, finely chopped onion and grated carrot can also be added to the batter.
    • Coconut oil gives a great flavor for adai.
    • Using Kashmiri red chilli gives a really good color, but is not too spicy.
