Paruppu Masala Adai Recipe

1/2 cup Tuar dal

1/2 cup channa Dal

1/2 cup Masoor Dal

1/2 cup Moong dal

1/2 cup Urad dal

2 cups idli rice

1 cup small onions

4-5 green chillies

4-5 red chillies

handful curry leaves

1/2 tsp asafoetida powder

Salt to taste



Method:

Wash and Soak all the dals and the rice together for about 3-4 hours. Grind to a coarse paste in the wet grinder or in the mixer.

Crush the small onions, green chillies , red chillies, curry leaves slightly , just one or two rounds in a mixer would do the trick.

Mix the crushed vegetables to the batter, with asafoetida and salt to taste. Leave it aside for about an hour.

Heat a Dosa tava, Pour l;adleful of the batter onto the tava and spread evenly into a round slightly thicker than a dosa.

Pour gingelly / sesame oil on to the sides, As soon as one side gets fried flip it over and fry the other side.

When both the sides turn golden, serve hot with chutney.



Note:

This is a very healthy dish with all the dals and rice combination. You have to use oil for the Adai to taste good.

You can make the adais in the non stick tava but even then you will have to use oil but may be less than that of the ordinary iron tava
