Adai

Ingredients:

1 c. rice
¼ c. Chana Dahl
¼ c. urad dahl
¼ C. toovar Dahl
2 red chilies
2 hot green chilies
¾ c. water
1/8 tsp. asafetida
Salt to tast
¼ c. vegetable oil

Directions:


Mix rice and dhals together and soak in water for 3 hours. In a blender, grind the mixture of rice and dahls with the green and red chilies, adding about ¾ cup of water. The mixture should not be ground finely. It should be of a coarse nature and a thicker consistency. Mix asafetida and salt with it. The batter should not need to be fermented.

In a pan, add oil and fry some mustard seeds, urad dahl and chana dahl. Add to the adai batter. Adai can be made as soon as the batter is ready. Over medium heat, brush the griddle with oil. Pour 1/3 cup of batter over the griddle and spread it around. It should be thicker than Dosai. When golden brown, turn it over to cook the other side. Take it out of the griddle and serve hot. Makes about 8 adais.
