Adai dosa is a South Indian delicacy, known for its high protein content. While traditional dosas are made with urad dal and rice, adai dosa features a mix of chana dal, urad dal, and toor dal. Make it in 6 steps.
½ cup rice ¼ cup chana dal ¼ cup urad dal ¼ cup toor dal ⅓ cup finely chopped onions ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves 2 teaspoons curry leaves 2 dried red chillies A pinch of hing Salt to taste Ghee for greasing
Rinse and soak the lentils and rice together for about 3-4 hours.
Grind the soaked lentils and rice with dried red chillies, salt, and hing. Let it ferment for 2-3 hours.
Add chopped onions, coriander leaves, curry leaves, and a little water to the batter.
Heat a pan, grease it with ghee, pour a spoonful of batter, spread it in a circle and cook.
Once the bottom is golden brown, flip the dosa to cook the other side.
Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
