Hi John,
You can view the entire recipe and rpeparation on my blog @ http://sweetkaramkapi.blogspot.com/2010/07/adai-aviyal.html and do post your comment, suggestion and how you liked the reciupe on the blog!
An adai when served with aviyal makes a wholesome, nutritious meal. Aviyal is a medley of boiled vegetables (think carrots, potatoes, chow-chow, white pumpkin, yellow cucumber - mostly the water based veggies etc) simmered in yogurt, coconut gravy. Its so easy to make the batter for adai, no need to toil over
fermenting the batter. The amount of lentils added does not have any hard and fast rules. But, I follow the measurements from my mom! My MOMS the BEST! (that's how it is for all of us isn't it?)
Ingredients
- For adai
- 1/2 Cup Channa Dal
- 1/2 Cup Tuvar Dal
- 1/2 Cup Moong Dal
- handful Urad Dal
- 1/4 Cup Rice
- 1/2 Cup Grated Coconut (optional)
- 6-8 Red Chilies
- 1" Ginger
- Salt to Taste
- 2 bunch Curry Leaves
- Oil
Directions
- For Adai
- Soak the lentils and rice for about 2 hours or until tender to grind. Grind the lentils and rice, by adding chillies and ginger. Grind it to a coarse consistency.
- Once done, add the chopped curry leaves and salt to taste. Add coconut (if using) and mix well. Heat the cast iron pan, pour one laddle of the batter and spread like dosa.
- we usually make a small hole in the middle of the adai - and add few drops of oil in the hole so that the lentils get cooked well!)
- Turn the adai and cook both the sides.
- Serve the adai hot with aviyal (recipe follows) and a small jaggery.

July 20, 2010This recipe looks really good Vidhya! I'd like to try it, and was wondering if you'll be adding the Aviyal recipe too. You can just add it as a new recipe...then link it to the Adai recipe. I'll cook both and review once you've posted it. Thanks for sharing!
