Crispy Adai my own recipie

Few days back I made adai which came out crispy and thin. The recipie is this:

1 glass of Rice
2 spoons each of urad dal, chana dal, tur dal and you can also add moongdal
Red chillies according to your taste
Hing Powder
Kadi patha
salt to taste


Grind the above very fine just as you grind for dosa. The batter should not be very thick . While making adai I made it with butter instead of til oil. The adai came out crispy. The usual adai we make usually people make it thick.

“Age is…wisdom, if one has lived one’s life properly.” Miriam Makeba

Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts. ~Martin Buxbaum

After retirement we feel life is going to be a bore. We start thinking that there is nothing worth living for. We should think always young, plan a future and look forward to a happy year. We have to try to forget ourself . Everyday we can keep ourselves busy by doing a favour to someone and it will work. Take up any work then life can be wonderful and thrilling. 


We should feel we are always young and live that way and be gentle. God has given us a life which we should make it worthliving. I know I am growing older each day but my heart remains in the size and shape of a child that I amstill learning every day. If we keep ourselves busy helping others life becomes worthwhile and meaningful. No matter how old we are life can change when we share a smile, give a hug to show that we care, say some comforting kind words to someone who badly need, always extending a helpin ghand. 

It gives you that happy feeling of starting your life anew,
But like any other business, it requires time and attention too!
So be in the business of staying young, and the heights of joy you will reach,
Make staying young your new career, and practice what you preach.
Age can be a frightening thing, if you let yourself fear it…
You can’t help being up in years, but needn’t be down in spirit.
Take pride in your appearance, always look up to par,
It’s a way of making others forget just how old you are.
I know I’m not indestructible, time is taking it’s toll,
But I have a goal to reach, and I know I’m not too old.
So get busy and be useful each day of your life on this earth
With your talents and your efforts, find a way to prove your worth.

God will keep us strong and healthy, if in His hands we place our life,
We’re living in a world that needs us, though it’s filled with envy, sin and strife.
Let’s help make it a better place, so all can plainly see,
That each hour we spend here, is part of our eternity.

Days are passing so fast but we can keep in memory the happy moments left behind. We shoudl do the best we can everyday. We should see the good in all that comes are way and be content with what we have at the end of the day. Then we feel rich in happiness while staying young at heart. 

You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
