milagu jeeraga adai

Milagu jeeraga adai also known as karthigai adai is one of the traditional recipes made especially on the thirukarthigai / karthigai deepam. Which is why it is also called as karthigai adai.

I got this recipe from one of an age-old Tamil magazine where the traditions followed on the day of karthgai deepam was given. In which I read about milagu adai and milagu vadai being prepared as a savory offering to god apart from sweet delicacies.

One thing about this adai is it has to be taken hot for the best taste. I love to pair it with simple coconut chutney.
