Godhumai Adai | Wheat Adai | Quick and Easy Snack Recipes

December 1, 2015 59 Comments

Godhumai adai was a favourite snack while I was young. My grandmom used to make it with tons of ghee, tons of jaggery and tons of love! One Sunday, I had the hugest craving for this so I dialled home to find out the exact recipe from Amma. She had gone out to meet some friends so I dialled the next best person – the sister!

Godhumai Adai | Wheat Adai | Quick and Easy Snack RecipesAfter 15 mins of talking (of which 3 mins was dedicated to the recipe!), I started off. This is an easy snack for kids for their after-school hungry times. Its quite healthy too and can be easily made with the ingredients available in your pantry.

Godumai Adai / Godambu Ada
Makes – 6

Ingredients:
Wheat flour / atta – 2 cups
Jaggery / sharkkara / vellam – 2/3 cup, grated (Adjust if you like it not too sweet)
Grated coconut – 1/2 cup
Powdered cardamom – 1/3 tsp (2-3 pods)
Salt – one pinch
Ghee – to cook

Instructions:

1. Transfer the jaggery to a bowl and add about 2 tbsp water. Keep on low fire until it starts melting. Let it boil for about 5 mins. Strain to remove impurities and set aside to cool.
*Note that this step is necessary if you are using Kerala sharkkara. If using the lighter coloured Tamil Nadu version, sis says there are no impurities so you can just use the grated jaggery and mix in with the atta. The TN version is salted so make sure you adjust the addition of salt to the dough.

2. Mix the atta, salt and cardamom until well combined. Add the coconut to this and mix well.

3. Add the cooled jaggery mixture to the atta and combine with finger tips. Add enough water and keep combining until you get a sticky, slightly elastic, loose dough. It should neither be watery nor hard like for chapatis. The consistency is not super important but make sure you don’t go to either extreme. Also make sure not to knead too much.

4. Heat a griddle and add some ghee. Scoop out some dough with your fingers, place on the pan and smooth out into a circle using your fingertips. Let it brown (1 min).

5. Turn and cook the other side until nicely browned. Tastes good both hot and at room temp.
Note

If you want some melted jaggery in the ada (which I LOVE), reserve some grated jaggery before melting and add this to the dough while mixing. The jaggery pieces will melt and form nice patterns on the ada. Hmmm.. heaven!

    Have had this much filling snack when we’re kids. Ammachi used to make them often. Long time I haven’t had them and kept telling my wife to prepare. Today when wife is away, this is the best item to try! Was wondering how to make it and here’s the instruction. Thank you Nags

    Sharmilee – I thought yours came out really well too, the shape was more uniform than mine. Since we pat these with hands, the first side will be better-looking and browned more evenly than the second. I used only those sides for the pics, so maybe that's why πŸ™‚

    I just drizzled the ghee around the adai while cooking.

    The taste was as gud as ur pic…but I felt ur pic shows they are evenly cooked as its brown all over…what did u do, pour ghee or only drizzle or wats the trick? πŸ™‚

    This looks delicious. I have never used jaggery before, so I will have to find some to make this!
    Any idea if organic brown sugar plus a little molasses would be a decent substitute?

    Hey this issimilar to 'Kelya maskat' aka Banana pancake that my mom made. You mix whole wheat atta, jaggery, ripe bananas and coconut and pat it on to a pan..like the way you have made the dosas.. it is delicious!

    Nags this seems to a vegetarian version of the American pan cakes with a little Indian touch. We too make a similar one like this but that has a coconut filling inside, you can have a look at it here – http://bengalicuisine.net/2009/08/03/patishapta/

    the last pics tells me go make it now…….i love it with jaggery n never knew there are so many versions of jaggery….though i know the palm jaggery , date jaggery and cane jaggery but the ones you mentioned are unknown to me…

    i make these a bit thinner…will try this way next time…n we add fennel seeds too…yes it's awesome slightly burnt….we call it gur ka chilla.

    I like this spreading on tawa kind of things rather than pouring batter ones.(You know my dosa making skills,sob!)
    I like the adding grated jaggery part. I heard people put sugar in chapati dough for the same effect.
