Wheat Rawa Adai

Wheat Rawa, which is finely broken whole wheat or Dalia, is a versatile ingredient that can be used to prepare a variety of dishes such as Upma, Kichadi, Pongal, and Idli. This nutrient-rich grain is packed with fiber and makes for a healthy substitute to rice. I have made Adai with this rawa.

Directions

  • Soak all the dals in water for about 3 to 4 hours. Soak separately wheat rawa in enough water (just to cover the rawa) along with red chillies.
  • Grind the soaked wheat rawa along with red chillies and salt to a paste.
  • Wash the soaked dals and drain the water.  Grind it to a coarse paste.
  • Mix both the wheat rawa paste and dhal paste. Add little water, if required, to make the batter little thicker than dosa batter.

    I am a regular to ur site.I just wanted to know if Samba rava (which is a slightly finer variety)can also be used. Should we grind the soaked broken wheat a little or just add it as is? Cos the broken wheat we get is ideal for uppuma, meaning in granules.

    • Hi Nirmala Arvind,

      Yes. You can use the samba wheat rawa also. Need not grind the soaked wheat rawa. Once it is soaked well, it will blend with the batter nicely. You can add the soaked rawa as it is.

  11. dear kamala.

    i was going through the wheat rawa adai..just wanted to know whether i can ferment for a day like ordinary dosa batter..

    • Hi Vidya,

      For adai, normally we do not ferment. But there is nothing wrong in fermenting the wheat rawa adai batter. The adai will be slightly sour.

  15. Hi Dear

    Wanna ask about wheat rava or normal rava.. whats the difference between both..

    and how to to soak simple rava and drain it..

    • Hi Preeti Garg,

      Wheat rawa also known as “Dalia” is broken wheat, i.e. wheat with husk is ground to a tiny granules. Whereas ordinary rawa is a product of husked wheat (refined wheat) ground to a fine granule.

  16. can you post the pic of the rawa you mentioned for the recipe
