ADAI

Ingredients:

Yield : 12 Adais

Another Measurement:

Boiled rice: 2 cups, Thuvar Dhal: 1 cup, Chana Dhal: 3/4 cup, Urad Dhal:1/4 cup all the other ingredients are same as above.

Procedure:

1. Soak rice for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
2. Soak all the dhals for half an hour, before grinding the rice.
3. Now grind the rice coarsely and remove.
4. Add all the dhals along with green chillies, red chillies, asafoetida, salt and half of the curry leaves and whip it coarsely.
5. Now add the coarsely ground rice and whip everything together once or twice. Remember it should not become a paste. Coarse grinding only.
6. Now add the remaining chopped curry leaves to the batter. Mix well.
7. Prepare adais. Adais will be slightly thicker than dosas.
8. Make holes and pour oil in each hole.
9. When slightly brown turn to the other side and again pour little oil in each hole. By doing this the adais will be crisp.

Note:

1. If the batter becomes sour, can add finely chopped onion or chopped drum stick leaves/ methi leaves.
2. We can also grind together coarsely(like rawa) and prepare the same in the above manner.

Optional:

Whole dhania: 1 tsp, Jeera: 1/2 tsp, Pepper corns: 8-10 nos, can also be added along with dhals. (Then reduce one or tow chillies).
