ADAI

ADAI(RICE AND DAL MIX DOSA)

Ingredients:

Raw rice-1-1/2 cups,

Chana dal-1/2 cup,

Urid dal-1/2 cup,

Tur dal-1/2 cup,

Red/green chillies-5,

Hing-1/8 tsp,

Salt to taste and

Oil for making adai.

Method:

Wash and soak rice and all 3 dals together, for 4 hrs.

Grind them with chillies, hing and salt to a coarse texture.

Heat dosa tawa, spread a little oil on the tawa and then spread a laddle-full of the batter to form a thick dosa shape.

Bring the flame to a low and drip a little more oil all around. Close it with a lid.

When one side is done, flip it and cook the other side also well.

When both the sides are done, take it from the pan.

This preparation goes very well with butter, curds,  jaggery or even chutney as an accompaniment.

The texture of adai can be changed by having a comparatively thin layer of batter to prepare it and make the adai crispy as in the case of ordinary dosa or have a soft texture with a slightly thicker layer of batter to prepare it. Both are equally tasty, delicious and nutritious.
