* Readymade ada is available in all grocery stores. But here we make ada in a traditional way.

  • Mix one cup of raw rice (Pacharisi) in water (should be thick fluid).
  • Spread it in a banana leaf (Vazhai Ilai) and roll it up gently.
  • Put slowly in boiling water.
  • Take out after two minutes.
  • Run cold water over it.
  • Unroll the leaf.
  • Now the rice batter turns to spring roll structure.
  • Slice it and keep aside.
    (This is called ada. In case of readymade ada, boil it in hot water and drain the excess water)

Preparation

  • With 1 table spoon ghee fry cashew nuts(till turns to light brown) and kismis separately and keep aside.
  • Fine grind cardamom and Nutmeg flake and keep aside.
  • Crush jaggery keep and aside.
  • With 1 table spoon ghee fry the ada and keep aside.

  • Take out Ada pradhaman from fire.
