Adai is an Indian pancake popularly made in Tamil Nadu, especially in Tanjavur district, India and is almost similar to dosa. According to Food Blogger Nithya Ravi, "The dish was named Adai because, in olden days, it was made in a bronze vessel with coconut oil. High in fiber, diabetic and heart friendly. Being an excellent source of folic acid, pregnant women must include toor dal in their daily diet. Being an excellent source of fibre it helps in preventing and relieving gastric problems like constipation. Ingredients 1 cup Raw rice 1 cup Idli rice/ parboiled rice 1/2 cup Chana dal/ Kadalai paruppu 1/4 cup Toor dal/ thuvaram paruppu 1/8 cup Urad dal/ uluntham paruppu 1/8 cup Moong dal/ paasi paruppu - 1 cup Small onions/shallots chopped 4 tbsp Coriander leaves chopped optional 2 sprigs curry leaves 1/4 tsp Asafoetida 15 Red chillies Salt to taste Instructions Soak rice and dal separately for 3 hrs minimum. First grind the red chillies with salt, asafoetida and then add rice. Grind it to a coarse paste (like rava). Add dal. Use the pulse,inch or juice option to grind this dals coarsely. Make sure to wipe the sides and lids for even grinding. This should be more coarse in texture as shown in the picture. Mix both the ground items well and set aside. You can keep upto 3-4 hours, or even make immediately. But standing time yields better result. Just before making adai, add the onions, coriander, curry leaves and mix well. The batter should be thicker than our idly dosa batter. So adjust water as needed. Heat the tawa and spread little oil and spread one laddle full of batter as thick adais,make a small hole in the middle and again pour little oil around. Let it get cooked for sometime.Turn over the adai and cook the other side too till golden brown. (you can cook covered with a lid, before flipping )
