Thavala Adai or Adai Dosa

Adai Dosa is mixture of lentils and rice along with some tempering. It is a protein rich food. It is flavorful and crispy one. When I was a kid I didn't had interest in eating this lentil Adai Dosa. Now I like to have it once a week. I suggest you to drink more water after you have Adai dosa for your meal.

Step 6: Into a heated kadai or dosa tawa grease some oil and spread the adai not too thick nor too thin.

Step 7: Add little extra oil for the adai to get cooked . Cook one side until the color changes. Flip it over and cook for 1 min in medium flame. Cook the Adai in medium flame for better taste.
