Notes

I have served this samai arisi adai with spicy poondu-milagai chutney,you can serve with a simple coconut chutney as well.
The consistency should be thick,but there is no specific rule it can be thin if you wish.
I have simply chopped the vegetable as such without removing the skin and seed!
can serve with butter smeared on it(optional).
Can use even varagu,thinai instead of samai arisi.
