Millet Watermelon rind Adai

Make this delicious Foxtail millet Watermelon Rind Adai and reduce the food waste.  Do not discard the nutritious rind of watermelon after scooping out the sweet pink flesh, instead put it to good use with this recipe.



Ingredients:

  • Blisstree Foxtail Millet - 1 cup
  • Watermelon rind, chopped - 1 1/2 cups
  • Coconut - 1/2 cup
  • Red Chillies - 3 or 4
  • Coriander Seeds - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt 
  • Water 


Method:

1. Soak Foxtail millet for 8 hours or overnight.

2. After scooping out the flesh of watermelon, scrap the outside thick green skin and chop the white rind portion. 

3. Add all the ingredients listed in the Ingredients section in the blender and blend it together and make the batter a little coarse and thick.  

4. Turn the stove on with Medium-high flame setting and heat a griddle pan. Apply a little oil on the pan, take a ladle full of this batter and pour it in the center and start spreading the batter out.

5. Drizzle a little oil on the sides and let it cook. Once it cooks on one side, flip it over and let the other side cook and then serve with side dishes of your choice.

Note: 

  • Add just enough water to grind the batter thick and coarse. If more water is added, it becomes runny.
