Pudhina Adai / Mint and Lentil Crepe

Posted by on Dec 5, 2011 in Breakfast Menu | 11 comments

Adai is a healthy recipe which is very tasty. We can give a twist to the adai by adding mint and coriander which makes the adai more tastier. My cousin shared this recipe to me and I like this adai better than regular adai.

Time of Preparation : 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours
Spice level : 3
Ingredients:

  • Par boiled Rice – 1 cup
  • Toor dhal – 1/2 cup
  • Channa dhal – 1/2 cup
  • Moong dhal – 1 tbsp
  • Raw rice – 1 tbsp
  • Urad dhal – 1 tbsp
  • Green chillies (chopped) – 8 to 10 (according to spice level)
  • Ginger – 1″ (chopped)
  • Mint leaves – 100g (chopped)
  • Coriander leaves – 100g (chopped)

For Seasoning:

  • Cumin seeds – 2 tsp
  • Onions (finely chopped) – 1/3 cup
  • Asafoetida – a pinch

Method of Preparation:

  1. Soak the boiled rice in water for atleast 5 hours.
  2. Soak all the dhals and raw rice together atleast for 2 hours.
  3. Drain the water and grind the rice in the grinder. When the rice is 80% done, add the dhals followed by mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chillies and ginger.
  4. The batter should be little thinner than regular adai batter consistency.
  5. Season the cumin seeds and asafoetida and add them to the batter along with the onions.
  6. Make them like how we make dosa and enjoy with podi or any chutney.
