Adai Dosai

"Adai", is a kind of dosa, that can be prepared instantly after grinding. No fermentation needed. A  good healthy breakfast. Most of the people prepare adai dosa with chana dhal and toor dhal as the ingredient along with some spices. My mother uses most of the grams and grains that she could include in it. And I follow the same recipe, which gives crispy and soft adai. The recipe I'm giving here serves 4 persons or more.

Ingredients:

To soak :
Toor dhal - 1 fistful
Channa dhal - 1 fistful
Rice - 1/2 fist
Urad dhal - 1/2 fist
Moong dhal - 1/2 fist
Green gram - 1/4 fist
Chick peas - few (say 10 nos)
Kidney beans / Rajma - few
Dry Peas - few

Cumin seeds - 3 tsp
Black pepper - 1 tsp
Ginger / Garlic - 2 tsp Crushed
Dry red chillies - 8 nosv(up to your taste)
Curry leaves - 1 stem (Optional)
Hinge - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 3 tsp (to taste)
Water - for grinding
Oil - to prepare dosa

Procedure:

  • Soak dhals and grains altogether overnight or atleast for 8 hrs. And wash them.


  •  Add cumin seeds, black pepper, ginger, garlic, dry red chillies, curry leaves, hinge, salt to the soaked grain and grams and grind coarsely. 
  • Add water for little flow consistency.


  • Prepare dosa as usual. Adai would be thick and served hot with butter other than sambar, chutney. 

  • But you can also prepare thin adais too that would be crispy.
