ADAI DOSAI RECIPE

Adai dosa is one of the common breakfast in South India. Generally the ingredients used in this recipe are the combination of lentils like toor dal,channa dal and urad dal.But in Nagercoil we use Idli rice and yellow split pea(in Tamil it is pattani paruppu or vada paruppu)instead of toor dal and channa dal.

They are soaked and then grounded coarsely into a thick batter.In addition to that batter includes mixture of coarsely grounded grated coconut,chopped green chillies,chopped shallots and chopped curry leaves.Finally add some cleaned and washed moringa leaves,in Tamil it is murungai keerai to make murungai keerai adai dosai.

For grinding,I prefer grinder so i use the dried red chillies directly,if you use mixie soak the dried red chillies then grind it for smooth grinding.You can relish this with avial and coconut chutney.But our personal favourite is coconut chutney.I learn't this recipe from my mom,do try this recipe and let me know how it will turned out to you.Now let's check out the recipe....
