Whole Wheat Corn Roti / Adai N Carrot Raitha

        Day 2 of Blogging Marathon Under the theme "Whole Grain Dishes" and today's healthy and fiber rich recipe, Whole Wheat Corn Adai. More than Adai dosa i like this Wheat Adai and Ragi Adai more. My grandmom makes this wheat/godhumai adai often and give us for evening tiffin/Dinner. These adai are very tasty n wholesome perfect for light Dinner. To make it more healthy, i added sweet corn to my regular wheat adai that turned out so soft and flavorful adai. I made Carrot Raitha to go with this adai, on the whole it was so satifying and yummy dinner. Now to the recipe...
