- 1/4 cup chana dal

- 1 tablespoon urad dal
Rest of the ingredients:
- 4 red chillies

- 1/4 cup small onion chopped finely
- few curry leaves torn into pieces
- 1 tablespoon coriander leaves finely chopped

Instructions
- Take all the ingredients listed under ‘to soak’ in a mixing bowl, soak it in water till immersing level.
- Soak for at least 3-4 hrs. Drain water and set aside.
- Take red chillies and fennel seeds in a mixer, add little of mixed millet mixture and grind it to a coarse mixture.
- Now add remaining dals and grind it a semi coarse mixture. Add little water and mix well.
- Add chopped onion, coriander leaves and required salt. The batter should be slightly runny in between idli and dosa batter consistency.
- Heat the dosa pan, grease with little oil, pour a ladle full of batter and spread it evenly a bit thick.
- Drizzle oil over the sides and let it cook, flip over other side and cook till golden brown and crisp at the edges.
- Serve Millets Adai hot with any chutney of your choice.
Notes
- You can make big adais too.
- Make sure to cook on one side , only then flip over to other side else it will stick and will not be easy to turn over.
- No need of standing time, you can make adais instantly once you have the batter.
- The batter keeps well for 2-3 days if refrigerated.
- You can make thick adais or thin crispy dosa kinds. If you want to make thin adai dosas then make the batter little thin so that spreading is easy.
- I used my cast iron dosa pan so the edges were nicely crisp.
