Adai Recipe – How to make Adai Dosa

July 1, 2012 by Sharmilee J 46 Comments

Adai Recipe

I can have adai(adai dosa) even daily….I love it so much. This version amma makes – the dosa style is my fav not to thick not too thin. Most restaurants serve adai with aviyal but I havent tasted that combination. To me adai with coconut chutney is the best combo and with little sugar….hmmm heavenly! It is protein packed wholesome for breakfast/dinner.

Want a more healthy version of adai?! then check out the oats adai.

Adai Aviyal

Adai Recipe – Ingredients

Preparation Time : 3 hrs soaking + 15 mins grinding | Cooking Time : 5 mins / adai | Makes : 15 adais
Recipe Category: Main| Recipe Cuisine: South Indian

Raw Rice – 1 cup
Idli Rice – 1 cup
Urad Dal – 1/4 cup
Toor Dhal – 1/4 cup
Chana Dal – 1/4 cup
Moong Dhal – 2 tbsp
Turmeric powder – a generous pinch
Hing – a generous pinch
Fennel seeds – 1.5 tsp
Red Chillies – 2
Big Onion – 2 medium sized finely chopped
Garlic – 2.5 tbsp sized finely chopped
Coriander leaves- 2 tbsp finely chopped
Oil – 1 tsp
Salt – to taste

Method:

  1. Soak the rice and dhals for atleast 2-3 hours, Keep aside. Grind it together with red chillies and fennel seeds to a coarse paste. Add salt, turmeric powder, hing mix well and set aside.
    How to make adai - Step1
  2. Add onion, garlic and coriander leaves and mix well. Add little water to make it to slightly running consistency slightly thicker than the dosa batter.
    How to make adai - Step2
  3. Heat the dosa tawa , take one laddle full and spread the batter as we do for dosa. Drizzle little oil and once it is cooked turn to other side and cook till golden brown.
    How to make adai - Step3

Serve hot with coconut chutney or avial.

Adai Dosa

My Notes:

  • If you want a more spicy version add 2 more red chillies while grinding.
  • Grind it coarsely not too smooth.Once the batter is ready you can make your adais right away. We usually grind it noon to make it for dinner and keep the extra remaining batter till next day morning(keeping it refrigerated)
  • You can also spread the batter even more thicker. We prefer this way to get crispy dosa style adais.
  • You can also include a small piece of ginger while grinding.

    hi sharmi…u have so good blog with very delicious recipes.thank you for you good work and attractive photography. i made the adai same way…unbelievable that it matches with urs too. adding all dhal varieties equally gives this more crisp texture and also i grind all dhal,rice seperate and grind all the remaining in ur list together and mix with the dhal batter…

      Raw rice is a type of rice we use for pongal, adai and such tiffin items…You can try replacing it with idli rice itself
