Ada (Adai)
This ada (adai) recipe is a dosa (crêpe) usually served at breakfast. It is made with a mixture of lentils and rice and is quite filling. One usually eats ada with podi (south Indian spicy chutney powder) and mango pickle (avakkai). Since the batter is made with raw lentils, it gets fermented easily. It will keep in the refrigerator for one to two days maximum.
Spicy Oven-Roasted Plums
Several years ago, I was looking for a recipe to take advantage of our bumper crop of plums and came across a recipe for roasted plums. After tweaking it a bit, I have developed a very versatile version that my family and friends love. Season with ground white pepper and use it as a side dish for pork or chicken. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and spoon it over vanilla bean ice cream, angel food, or pound cake for dessert! Play around with the spice combination by adding cloves, allspice, or cayenne. Be adventurous!
