Paruppu Adai

பருப்பு அடை (Paruppu Adai)

Paruppu Adai is one of my favorite recipe. Whenever I go to South Indian restaurant, I use to order paruppu Adai & Avial. Adayar Ananda Bhavan’s Adai Avial is very tasty and popular. Paruppu Adai is a very healthy diet. This does have good fibre content and also protein rich. This is one of the best breakfast that gives good energy.
