Adai (Dal Dosa)

Here is one more healthy breakfast recipe packed with protein. This basically is a Tamil nadu recipe with a combination of rice and different dals. Unlike the regular dosa, this doesn’t need the long process of fermentation of the batter which makes it even more simple..
Ingredients:
Rice – 1 cup
Urid dal – ½ cup
Toor dal – ½ cup
Mung dal – ½ cup
Chana dal – ¼ cup
Green chillies – 5 to 6
Salt to taste
Oil as required
Hing – a pinch
Preparation:
Wash and soak the rice and dals together for about 4 to 5 hours and grind with green chillies and enough salt to a coarse paste. (coarse batter results in a crispy adai and also takes longer time to cook)
Heat a tawa, grease it with oil and pour a ladle of batter and smear it to make a round dosa. Pour oil around the edges if needed to cook the adai.
My tip is to close the adai when cooking so that it will be cooked evenly with the steam.
Turn aside and cook on the other side till golden brown.
Serve hot with any chutney of your choice or vegetable stew.
