Adai is a form of Pancake, its quite nutritious as its made with a mixture of Lentils and Rice batter. This is generally eaten as a breakfast item but can be eaten for any light meal. Adai dough can be refrigerated and used for 4-5 days which adds to our easy cooking. Crispy Adai with Chutney or Pickle is enjoyable by everyone!

Makes:

About 20-25

Preparation Time:

5 hrs

Cooking Time:

5 mins(per Adai)

Ingredients:

Mung Dal - 1 Cup
 
 Urad Dal - ½ Cup
 
 Toor Dal - ¾ Cup
 
 Chana Dal - ¾ Cup
 
 Rice - 1 Cup
 
 Fenugreek Seeds - 1 tsp
 
 Asafoetida - ¼ tsp
 
  Few strands of Curry Leaves
 
 Salt to taste
 
 Ginger - About an inch
 
  Mint Leaves - 1 small bunch (optional)
 
 Cilantro/Coriander Leaves - ½ Cup
 
 Oil - 1 Cup
 
  Dried Red Chillies - 5 or 6
 

Method:

• Soak all the Lentils and Rice along with Fenugreek in Water for about 5 hours.

• Later on, drain the Water. Grind this with rest of the ingredients except Oil into a smooth paste. Add few spoons of Water if required while grinding.

• The consistency of the batter should be slightly thicker than that of the Pancake one.

• Next heat a non stick flat skillet on medium high heat.

• Now pour about a Cup of batter in the centre of the skillet and spread uniformly using the back of the Spoon (similar to pancake)

• Spread about a teaspoon of Oil over this. Wait for few seconds and then flip over the Adai just like you do for a Pancake.

• Let this cook until golden brown in colour.

• Crispy Adai is ready to be served with Chutney or Pickle.

Variations : Dried Red Chillies can be replaced with Green Chillies, add Jeera while grinding.

Testimonial:

"Dear Spices of India, I have been using Spices of India for about 2 years now. The reasons are many and varied... 1. Huge selection of products at very reasonable prices. 2. Unless you live in an area that has an Asian grocery shop or supermarket that also stocks these items then this is the fastest and most convenient way to shop.3. The service offered, from the initial online shop to receiving the order at home, is absolutely superb.4. For example, I placed my latest order on a Wednesday evening and the items were with me on Friday morning at 7.30am. How could you better that.5. If you are unsure about any product or the delivery schedule, then simply email them with your query. In most cases you will probably have a reply to your question within minutes. 6. In summing up then.....If you need Asian grocery products/cookware/cookbooks then look no further that Spices Of India for a totally unbeatable service. PS. No, I do not work for them!!"
