Directions

  1. 1. Wash and soak rice and dals together for nearly four hours (i.E. Boiled rice, raw rice, urad dal, channa dal and toor dal).
  2. 2. Wash again, drain the water and grind coarsely adding all the other ingredients given above, except oil. The batter should be slightly thicker than dosa batter.
  3. 3. Grease a tawa and heat. Pour one ladle of the ada batter in the centre of the tawa and spread in a rotating manner with the same ladle to give the right thickness and a proper round shape.
  4. 4. Pour one teaspoon til oil around the edges. After a few seconds with a sharp edged spatula gently turn over the ada to the other side.
  5. 5. In 2 or 3 places make small depressions (holes). Pour one teaspoon of oil in and around. When the adai is crisp and golden in colour remove from the tawa.
  6. 6. Serve hot with avial or any other accompaniment.
