ADAI

Preparation Method :

• To prepare the batter for the adai, wash the dhals and the rice and soak them in six cups of water for about four hours.
• Then, drain the water completely.
• Transfer the soaked and drained rice and dhal to a blender/grinder.
• Add the red chilies, the cumin seeds and a cup of water and start grinding. While grinding, if the dough is too thick add water little by littleuntil the dough grinds coarsely and thick in consistency.
• Transfer the dough to a bowl and add the remaining ingredients, except the sesame oil and mix well.
• Heat an iron tawa over medium heat. Spread a little oil on the tawa and wipe it off.
• Pour a ladleful of batter into the centre of the tawa and spread the batter in a circular motion.
• Pour one teaspoon of oil on to the centre and to the edges of the dosa/adai.
• When one side of the adai cooked fully, turn into the other side and allow cooking.
• When it is crisp, it is done.
• Make all the batter in the same manner.
• Serve the adai hot with coconut chutney.
