Adai
Adai, like Dosa, is a crispy South Indian recipe. Here is my recipe for a mouth-watering, tasty Adai.
Ingredients
Idly rice / any rice - 2 1/2 cup
Thoor dhal - 1/2 cup
Channa dhal - 1/4 cup
Urad dhal - 1/4 cup
Moong Dhal - 1/4 cup
Ginger - A small piece
Dry red chilli - 5
Asafoetida - a pinch
turmeric powder - a pinch
salt - 2 tsp
Oil as required.
To temper:
Oil - 1 tbsp
urad dhal - 1 tbsp
channa dhal - 1 tbsp
onion - 1/2 cup
curry leaf - 1 brig
Method:
1. Wash and soak the rice , thoor dhal, channa dhal, urad dhal for 3 hours. I normally soak it by 12 Noon and make it for dinner.
[If you plan to make Adai for a special breakfast, then soak the rice overnight and soak the dhals for just 2 hours in the norning]
2. Make sure while making Adai , the dhals should not ferment. Moreover do not use fermented left over batter, as it is believed to be hazardous
3. After 3 hours grind soaked items along with red chilli, ginger, asafoetida, turmeric and salt and make it like coarse dosa batter .
4. Heat a pan with oil and add urad dhal and channa dhal.
5. Let them get red in color, then add the chopped onion , curry leaves and fry till the onion becomes transparent.
6. Then add this tempering to Adai dosa batter.
7. Heat a dosa pan and coat it with a little oil.
[Thick traditional dosa tawas make crispy adais than the non stick tawas]
8. Then pour a ladle of batter and make thick dosas.
9. Make a hole in the center/sides of the Adai and add 1 tsp oil or ghee around the Adai and in the center/side holes.
10. Flip it. Wait to get adai cooked well on both sides. Like wise make as many as required.
11. Adai dosai is ready! Serve Adai hot with coconut chutney or aviyal or onion chutney or pickle.
Donot prepare it in batches before serving. Because cold Adai does not taste great.
12. The taste will be more enhanced if we add a handful of drumstick leaves to the batter before making adai.
[ Serves: approx. 25 Adais
