Adai Dosa Recipe

Adai is one of the healthiest dishes from the South Indian cuisine. Thus, Adai Dosa is the perfect choice for a wholesome and filling breakfast meal, when paired with a bowl of sambar and chutney as well. Basically, these are delicious and protein-packed rice and lentil crepes, which are especially popular in the cuisine of Tamil Nadu in South India. Since all the other ingredients in this Adai Recipe are also plant-based, this preparation is also vegan. Call them crepes or pancakes, Adai is made from ground rice and lentils batter that is spiced and seasoned. A mix of lentils and white rice are soaked together and then ground to make a slightly coarse medium-thick batter. The batter is not fermented and the crepes are made on a skillet with the batter. The recipe of Adai Dosa that I have shared here is a basic one that I use at home to make the Adai. Each household has its own proportions and the types of lentils they use. Also, the spices and seasonings added, can vary from family to family. Basically, just like other dishes, there are many variations possible and various greens or vegetables that can be added in an Adai Recipe to make it heartier and more wholesome.
