Contrary to the classic rice dosa, Adai dosa is made with a blend of lentils, which makes it much more nutritious and protein-rich. Here’s an easy recipe for a high-protein South Indian breakfast.
Ingredients
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
Step 1
Rinse and soak the lentils and rice together for about 3-4 hours.
Step 2
Grind the soaked lentils and rice with dried red chillies, salt, and hing. Let it ferment for 2-3 hours.
Step 3
Add chopped onions, coriander leaves, curry leaves, and a little water to the batter and mix well.
Step 4
Heat a pan, grease it with ghee, pour a spoonful of batter, spread it in a circle and let it cook.
Step 5
Once the bottom is golden brown, flip the dosa to cook the other side.
Step 6
Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
