Servings: 6
Calories: 125kcal
Ingredients
The ratio of rice is to dals is 1:1. 1 cup = 240ml; 1 tbsp=15ml; 1 tsp=5ml
- 1 rice Idli Rice I have used basmati rice and also regular raw rice :-) It comes out really well.
- ⅓ cup Toor dhal
- ⅓ cup Urad dhal
- ⅓ cup Chana dhal
- 3 Dried Red chilies
- 2 Green chilies
- 1.5 tsp Salt as per taste
- ⅓ cup Coconut optional
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
Instructions
- Soak the rice, dals along with the chillies for 4 to 5 hrs.
- Grind them coarsely. It should not be as smooth as dosa batter.
- Adai batter doesn't need to be fermented, you can make adai right away.
- Add salt, coconut and curry leaves to batter.
- Make adai in the same way as you make dosa. (The batter should not be as watery as dosa. It should be little thick)
Cheese Adai
- I also make cheese Adai for the kiddo. I just sprinkle cheese on top of the adai and that’s it. Yummy kids friendly cheesy adai is also ready.
Notes
- Adjust the spices and salt as your taste.
- Instead of coconut, onions can be used too.
