Ingredients
Parboiled / Idli Rice – 1 cup
Raw Rice – ½ cup
Urad Dhal – ½ cup
Bengal Gram Dhal – 1 tablespoon
Thuvar Dhal – 1 tablespoon
Black Pepper – 1 tablespoon
Cumin (Jeeragam) – 1 teaspoon
Fresh coconut grated – ½ cup
Coconut cut into tiny bits – 1 to 2 tablespoons
Salt – 1 teaspoon or as per taste
Oil – as required
Directions
- Soak rice and dhals for about 4 hours. Wash and drain the water. Put it in a mixie along with pepper, jeera and salt. Grind it to a coarse paste. Before removing, add coconut gratings and run the mixie for one to two rounds.
- Heat a tawa and grease it with oil. Take a handful of batter and put it on the tawa and spread it with your fingers. Sprinkle few pieces of coconut on the top and pour little oil around the adai. Cook on medium flame till light brown spots appear. Turn it and cook on the other side also.
- Adai prepared in the above method will be slightly hard, but crispy and tasty. If you want softer adai, then add little water and make a thick batter. Pour a big ladle of batter on the Tawa and spread it round. Sprinkle few coconut pieces on top and cook as above.
