Ingredients for making Hot steamed Wheat Adai:

Whole wheat flour 2 cups
Green chillies finely chopped 2
Ginger finely chopped 1 tea spoon
Mustard seeds and Urad dal 1 tea spoon each
Asafoetida powder 1/2 tea spoon
Fresh grated coconut 1 tb spoon
Curry leaves
Salt to taste

Method for making Hot Steamed Wheat Adai:

In a heavy bottomed pan dry roast the fine wheat flour in medium flame till nice aroma comes at least for 10 minutes without burning the flour. Keep it aside.

Boil generous amount of water in a vessel with salt. Once the water starts boiling add two tea spoons of oil to water.
Keep the roasted flour in a broad pan and pour the water around it slowly. Then and there stir the flour with a ladle.
Since it is a roasted flour, it will absorb more water. Add water till the batter comes to the consistency of Chapathi dough.

Heat 2 tea spoons of oil and add mustards seeds, urad dal, hing powder, green chillies and curry leaves. Add them to the kneaded batter. Add the lemon juice and grated coconut also. Knead them together to soft dough.
