Receta Adai- Savoury Lentil Crepes

Crepes are an integral part of a south indian palate. They come in the form of dosas in many varieties and
colours and combinations. Adai is a lentil crepe which i often make at home and is an all time favourite. Full of proteins and carbohydrates, it makes an excellent breakfast menu and tastes divine with Aviyal or even a bowl of creamy thick yoghurt. It s such a no sweat recipe too.

- Soak the dals and the rice together after washing thoroughly for about 4 hours.
- Drain excess water and grind the rice and dals with chillies, cumin seeds, ginger, hing and salt to a consistency slightly thicker than dosa batter.
- Now, add cilantro, drumstick leaves and shallots and combine well.
- Heat a tawa and spread a ladle of the batter on it like dosa.
- Drizzle coconut oil on the sides.
- Cook on a medium flame for about 3 mins and then flip over.
- Cook for another min and serve hot with any chutney or Aviyal
- Note:
- Dont skip using the coconut oil because the oil imparts a wonderful flavour to the dish.
- I did not have drumstick leaves and shallots but do add them if you have them. The leaves enhance the taste and the crepes taste heavenly with them.
- You can also add bits of coconut to the batter.
