Equipment

electric mixer grinder

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup tur dal
  • ½ cup chana dal
  • ¾ cup yellow split Pea Dal
  • ¾ cup rice
  • 12 dry chillies
  • ½ teaspoon asafoetida
  • ½ teaspoon salt ( to taste )
  • oil ( for cooking )

Instructions
 

  • Measure and wash Dals/lentils, rice twice or thrice. Add dry chillies to it and soak with enough water for 2 hours.
  • Add soaked dal, rice and chillies in a mixer grinder and grind to a coarse batter.
  • Now add Asafoetida and salt to the batter and mix well.
  • I personally do not prefer to make Adai immediately. Therefore ,I would rest the batter for 3 hours.
  • The batter is ready to make Adai/Adai Dosa. Pour in a ladle and spread evenly. Add 1 to 1 ½ teaspoon of oil as per your wish and cook on a low medium heat.
  • When it cooked on one side flip it and cook on the other side until golden brown colour and crisp on the edges.
  • Serve Adai/Adai Dosa with Aviyal, Sambhar, Idli powder, Grated Jaggery or Coconut fried gram Chutney. Today I served with a simple chutney Coconut fried gram Chutney.

Notes

Use any three varieties of dal/lentils as per your choice.
Add little water while grinding the batter. The batter should be coarse and not thin.
Add any varieties of greens, carrot, onion or coconut to the batter to make more healthy.
