Semai da adai with sweet coconut milk (Rice Noodle with sweet milk)

Ingredients :

4 cups of  rice (parboil rice)
Salt to taste

For sweet milk :

1 cup thick coconut milk
1 tsp cardamom pd
1/2 cup thin coconut milk 
1 cup jaggery
1 cup ripe banana (optional)

Method :

Soak the rice into lukewarm water for more than 3 hrs.

Grind coarsely to a batter by adding little water. The consistency of the batter should not be watery. Add salt to taste and mix well.

Now divide the batter and roll into long shapes. Steam this rolls for 45 minutes in a steamer.

Now you'll need a rice noodle machine. The image is shown below.

Now you'll have to put one roll into the mould when it is ultra hot. Squeeze it hard to get a string like hoppers. Now operating the machine is not so easy, you'll have to put stress on your hands as parboiled rice gets dense once it cooked.

Usually this adai is prepared from parboiled rice not with normal rice. Because it comes softer through this machine.

And it is served the next morning along with Sweet coconut milk.

For preparation of Sweet Coconut Milk :

In a vessel melt jaggery. Add thick coconut milk and thin. Stir well.
Add cardamom powder. Mix well. Serve along with Semige.

Some add ripe bananas to it just to enhance flavour.
