अडई दोसे / Adai Dose / Mixed lentil Adai Dosa





This dosa recipe belongs to Tamilnadu. Contains 5 types of daal and rice..i like this dosa because it doesn't have fermentation. :) Also nutritious and something variety of dals in it makes it healthy and tasty both :)

Hope you all like it........
Enjoy !!!

Preparation time: 20 min apart from 1 hour of soaking
Cooking time: 2 minutes :) just for making dosa..


Ingredients:
1 cup rice ( I have tried with different rice varieties  Idly rice , Basmati , Sona masoori )
Chose whatever you like :)

1/4 cup urad dal
1/4 cup bengal gram ( Chana daal )
1/4 cup yellow moong dal
1/4 cup toor dal
Asafoetida
5-6 twigs curry leaves
red chillies as per taste
1 spoon black paper
water as required to grind to dosa batter consistency 
salt to taste
oil
Optional: Drumstick leaves approximately half bowl.
green gram 2 table spoon


Procedure:
  1. Soak rice, all 4 or 5 dal together in enough water for around 1 hour.
  2. Grind the mixture along with red chillies, Asafoetida,paper.
  3. Consistency of the batter should be little more thicker than normal dosa batter.
  4. Do not grind fine.. it should be little ..very little coarse.
  5. Add finely chopped curry leaves,drumstick leaves and salt to the mixture.
  6. Mix well.
  7. Keep the tava on stove and pour 1 table spoon oil. Spread it well.
  8. Once tava is hot enough pour a ladle full of the the batter and make a dosa.
(working from center towards outwards :) all of you must be knowing this..already :)
Serve HotHot with tomato sauce ( i like this combination a lot) or a fine coconut/ground nut chutney. :)
Healthy drumstick leaves: Rich in Vitamin A ,C, iron.
But since it is little bitter in taste, we put it in such a way that we wont realise the bitterness but still get the benefits :) Very very good for health. So ..do add it in this recipe.
