Adai dosai recipe |How to make adai dosa
Adai dosai recipe with step by step pics and video recipe. simple, healthy, traditional south Indian pancake/dosa recipe that includes all the essential lentils to make it a protein-rich breakfast.
Well, two adai dosai for the breakfast will make it way too heavy and I simply love the roasted adai with a lot of small onions. Rather than adai avial, we love adai with white classic thenga chutney.
We make this once every month and the batter we grind is just enough for 2-3 breakfasts and not more than that. Altogether makes 20-25 adai.
The other option of making an interesting dish out of the leftover adai batter is adai upma/kothuvaratti. Using gingely oil for making this dosa makes it extra tasty. Adding more small onions not only enhances the taste but it has a cooling effect over the lentils.
