Ada (Adai) image

Ada is a type of dosa (crepe) usually served at breakfast. It is made with a mixture of lentils and rice, and is quite filling. It is typically eaten with podi (south Indian spicy chutney powder) and mango pickle (avakkai). Since the batter is made with raw lentils, it gets fermented easily. It will keep in the refrigerator for 1 or 2 days maximum.

Time 8h50m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup split Bengal gram (chana dal)
1 cup skinned split black lentils (urad dal)
½ cup split yellow lentils (moong dal)
1 cup rice
salt to taste
2 dried red chile peppers, or to taste
water, as needed
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons cooking oil

Steps:

  • Place the chana dal, urad dal, moong dal, and rice into a large bowl and cover with several inches of cool water; allow to soak 8 hours to overnight.
  • Grind the soaked dal and rice with the salt and red chile peppers into a paste using a mortar and pestle. Add enough water to the mixture to make a batter just thin enough to spread. Stir the cumin seeds into the batter.
  • Heat a griddle (or a tawa) over medium heat. Gently grease the griddle with oil on the edges and the middle. Ladle the batter on the tawa and spread into a thin circle using the back of the ladle or a large spoon. Cook for a few minutes and flip over to the other side. Cook a few more minutes, transfer to a plate, and serve immediately. Adas are best eaten hot off the griddle.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have leftover rice in my fridge, so this is a perfect way to use it up. The crepes are also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

This was my first time making Ada Adal and it turned out great! The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I made a few minor changes, such as using all-purpose flour instead of rice flour, and it still came out perfectly.
