Adai Recipe With Step by Step Tutorial
Directions
Soak the dals and the rice together after washing thoroughly for about 4 hours.
Drain excess water and grind the rice and dals with chillies, cumin seeds, ginger, hing and salt to a consistency slightly thicker than dosa batter.
Now, add cilantro leaves and combine well.
Heat a tawa and spread a ladle of the batter on it like dosa.
Drizzle coconut oil on the sides.
Cook on a medium flame for about 3 mins and then flip over.
Cook for another min and serve hot with any chutney or Aviyal
Note:
Dont skip using the coconut oil because the oil imparts a wonderful flavour to the dish.
I did not have drumstick leaves and shallots but do add them if you have them. The leaves enhance the taste and the crepes taste heavenly with them.
You can also add bits of coconut to the batter.
