Adai/ Lentil Crepes

About the recipe:
This healthy and filling snack is my most favorite breakfast option. 

Ingredients:

  • Toor dal, - 3/4 cup
  • Channa dal - 3/4 cup
  • Moong dal - 1/4 cup
  • Urad dal - 1/4 cup 
  • Idli rice - 2 cups
  • Red chillies - 13 nos. 
  • Ginger
Soak the above in water for 2 hours and grind coarsely to form the batter. Add salt to taste. 

For Seasoning: 
  • Jeera - spoon
  • Mustard seeds - 1 spoon
  • Hing
  • Curry leaves - few
  • Oil
Heat oil in a small pan, add the above ingredients and once the mustard and jeera splutter add the rest of the ingredients. Add this seasoning to the batter. 

Additional toppings: 
  • Onion - 2-3 finely chopped
  • Coriander - a few sprigs
  • Ginger - 1 piece
Chop the above and add to the batter. 

Heat a flat pan/ tava and take a ladle of this mixture to make a flat dosa like shape. This will be thicker than a normal dosa. Add oil on sides to roast, cook each side for about 1 minute and flip sides until it turns golden brown. 

This tastes best when served piping hot with coconut chutney, a piece of jaggery and a dollop of amul butter!
