Uppu Adai (Uppadai) is another neivedhyam done on Karadayan nonbu. Uppadai and vellaadai are the neivedhyam dishes and women has to fast on karadayan nonbu and as per tradition after wearing the holy thread(nonbu kayiru) they have to eat only the adai they did for neivedhyam.
Vella Adai is the sweet version of rice flour+jaggery adai and Uppu Adai (Uppadai) is the savoury version of rice flour adai. The preparation of rice flour along with cooking of karamani remains same for both vella adai and Uppu Adai (Uppadai). Rest of the preparation is so easy. This is so similar to our conventional upma, where we do the tempering, bring water to boil along with salt and add rava or broken wheat and allow it to cook in boiling water. Similarly, here, after we prepare the rice flour and cook the karamani, we need to do the tempering in a kadai and add water and bring it to boil. To the boiling water, we need to add the roasted rice flour and keep stirring till it thickens and then make vada like patties and steam cook.

Notes :
- You can use grated coconut instead of sliced coconut pieces.
- You can also use the store bought readymade idiappam flour if you don’t have time to make home made rice flour. When you use store bought flour, dry roast the flour till it is warm and then continue with the rest of the process.
- We can also add grated ginger.
