I just thought of sharing my own way of preparing curd rice(seasoned). Recently we celebrated chitra pournami. This is not a must to celebrate festival in tamilnadu, but we do celebrate just to have moonlight dinner with all the family members. Let me define Chitra Pournami(obviously for those who really dont know). This is the full moon day in the month of Apr-May, that is the tamil month Chithirai. The day is dedicated to Chitragupta, the official assistant of Lord Yama. This day is considered as Chitragupta' s Birthday.Chitragupta, the first assistant of Lord Yama, is the one who keeps record of the good and bad deeds of human beings on earth. After death, when one reaches the abode of yama, it is he who tallies the good and bad deeds and declares it to Yama. Therefore, the day is dedicated to Chitragupta and devotees pray to him to forgive their sins.

On this day we should be on fasting for the whole day and cook in the evening at before the moon comes. We will have our dinner only after seeing the moon. That will really nice to sit in the terrace, watching the moon and having food, chitchatting...so much fun.

I think, everyone will be aware of the rich Iron content in the drumstick leaves. Unluckily, I was not able to find good drumstick leaves in any shop here. Either they will have a spoiled branch or dried branch. Its my favourite and was desperatly waiting for introducing this leaves to my kid. During our search for a play home for my kid, we found a fresh drumstick tree near my place, at the play school. I felt very bad, that the tree was unexplored till that time and it was only a few yards from my place. Anyway they didnt give admission for my kid, saying its too early to put him in a play home. I realized that i am running so fast for everything with my kid. But i felt happy for my discovery of drumstick leaves atlast. So with their permission am getting fresh bunch of leaves. I love everything made out of this, and the first thing that striked my mind was adding the leaves to the adai. 

Here goes the recipe

Ingredients 

Par Boiled Rice - 1 cup

Raw Rice - 1 cup

Toor Dhal - 1 cup

Channa dhal - 1/4 cup

Moong dhal - 1/4 cup

Urad dhal - 1/4 cup

Fried gram - 1/4 cup

Red Chillies - 8

Green Chllies - 2 

Pepper corns - 1 tsp

Gralic - 7 pods

Drumstick Leaves - 1 cup

Saunf - 1 tsp

Aesfoetida - 1/2 tsp

Salt and oil as required

Onion - 2 big minced.

Method

Soak the both the rice together in a bowl. Mix all the dhal and soak them in a seperate bowl.

Let them be sokaed for an hour. 

In a mixer, add the garlic, chillies and saunf. Grind it to a smooth paste. 

Later add the rice and grind well. Add the dhal later and grind it coarsely. 

Add salt and aesfoetida and mix well. 

Heat a kadai and saute the minced onion with 1 tsp of oil. 

Once the onion turns translucent, add the randomnly cut drumstick leaves. Saute this for a minute. 

Add this to the batter and mix well. The batter should be little thick. 

In a tawa, prepare adai as we do for dosa. Be little liberal in using oil for getting crispy adai. 

Serve hot with crushed jaggery, which also is rich in Iron. This is truly a healthy meal(Iron + mor eprotein) esp for kids and ladies.
