ADAI

Adai is a type of Dosa from Tamil Nadu which is made with lentils. My friend Rani used to give this Adai every year on the occasion of Kartika poornima, as Prasadam. I and my daughter loved this very much, so I asked her recipe, but I couldn't prepare it. Today I wanted to eat it badly. And here is the ADAI...

HOW TO MAKE:

WASH AND SOAK RICE, DAALS AND MOONG IN ENOUGH WATER FOR 2 HOURS.

GRIND IT COARSE ALONG WITH COCONUT GRATINGS AND PEPPER CORNS ALONG WITH VERY LITTLE WATER.

TRANSFER IT IN A BIG BOWL. ADD SALT TO TASTE, DRY COCONUT SLICES AND CHOPPED GREEN CHILLI.
