  • 1/4 c Channa dal
  • 2 tbsp Whole white Urad dal

Instructions

Soaking the ingredients

  • Wash the rice and dals together under running water for 2 to 3 times.
  • Add 6 to 7 c water to this and let it soak for 8 hours or overnight.
  • When soaked, drain all the water used for soaking.

Grinding the batter

  • Divide the soaked mixture into two portions.
  • Add the red chili, garlic, ginger, salt and asafoetida to one portion.
  • Place all this in a blender.
  • Add 3/4 c water and grind to a slightly smooth paste.
  • Once ground, transfer this to a mixing bowl.
  • Now, grind the remaining mixture with another 3/4 c water.
  • Grind to a slightly coarse paste.
  • When ground, combine both batches of the ground paste. Mix well using a ladle or whisk.
  • Adjust salt if needed.
  • If you find the batter too thick, dilute the batter with 1/2 c water.
  • Add the finely chopped coriander leaves. Mix well. Now the batter is ready.

Making the Adai

  • Heat a cast iron Tawa.
  • Add a ladle of the batter and spread to a slightly thick dosa.
  • Drizzle around 2 tsp coconut oil around the edges.
  • Cook on low flame till you see no raw batter on the surface.
  • When cooked, flip and cook the dosa on the other side as well for about 30 to 45 secs.
  • Once done, flip over and sprinkle 2 to 3 tbsp finely chopped onions over the dosa.
  • Fold the dosa over and serve hot.
