Soak rice and dhals together in water for 3 to 4 hours. Wash well, drain the water completely. Put it in a mixie or in wet grinder. Add red chillies and salt. Grind it to a coarse paste.
In a kadai put the oil. When it is hot add mustard. When it pops up add bengal gram dhal, urad dhal and frew till it become light brown. Add cashew nuts (break it into small bits), asafoetida powder and fry for a second. Crush pepper and jeera coarsely and add to the seasoning. Then add chopped onion and curry leaves. Fry till onions turn glossy. Add this seasoning to the batter. Mix well. Batter should be thick.
Heat a tawa and grease it. Pour a laddle of batter and slightly spread it. Pour a teaspoon of oil around it. Cook for few minutes and flip it over. Cook till it become crisp and remove.
You can eat this as it is or serve with butter and jaggery. Or with aviyal.

Hi Pushpa Ganesh,
Thank you for your kind wishes and I wish you and your family Happy Deepavalai.
For the above quantity you will get 10 to 12 Adai. So Multiply the above quanatity into 4 you will get 40 adai.
You can prepare only with Parboiled rice also. However if you add raw rice, the adai will be crisp.
Thank you very much for your feed back. Today
prepared two savories and two sweets from your recipes..all turned out very well..
Thank you for your kind feedback. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Deepavali.
