Toor Dal is one versatile lentil that we use in every day cooking, be it sambar, or rasam or even dal fry. In this (Toor Dal Adai) recipe, I have used Toor Dal to make crispy and filling Adai. Adai is a form of dosa and there are several versions of making adais using different lentils. Toor dal Adai is one delicious recipe that I want to share with you all. This is my entry to JFI event: Toor Dal hosted by my friend Linda of 'Out of the Garden'. Thanks Linda for hosting this event. Here goes the recipe.
Ingredients:
Toor Dal - 3/4 cup
Par Boiled Rice - 1 cup
Fresh Coconut (grated) - 1/2 cup
Green Chillies - 3 to 4
Asafoetida Powder
Curry Leaves
Salt to taste
Method:
Soak Toor Dal and Par Boiled Rice in water for 3 to 4 hours.
Grind the soaked Dal and Rice together. Add Coconut, Green Chillies, Asafoetida Powder and Chopped Curry leaves and Salt while grinding. Grind to a smooth dosa batter adding very very little water.
Use this batter to make nice and crispy thin Dosa or thick Adai. Serve with yogurt or any spicy chutney.
Note: The batter can be used instantly or used after fermenting.

Hi Mythreyee, your adai looks extra tempting on this chilly wintry day. I'm so excited too because I just got a brand new tawa and now I can make your recipe for the first dish cooked on it!
Thank you so much for taking part in JFI Toor Dal with this lovely adai! Your new blog home is really looking great :)
Thanks Linda and looking forward and can't wait to see the array of toor dal recipes.
I have been looking for daal addai recipes, but unfortunately my Hubby dear cannot digest toor daal, do you think I could use some other daal
Look for Moong dal Adai. As far as I know, It is digestable. Also, try the same adai recipe with different dals, like take a couple of table spoons of each dal, rice one cup and do as per the adai procedure. You will love it.
I wanted to comment on your previous post. Your website now has a different look feel and even pleasant music added to it. I love the title and music is heavenly just like the background music in an indian restaurant. I wish u all luck !!!!
