Ada Dosa




When we were in Coimbatore my friends mom used to call me everytime she made ada dosa. Her dosa was very spicy and yummy.Since i have two little kids who love food ( so much that they can even find the difference between fresh food and food kept overnight ) I reduce the amount of chilli and salt. Here is the recipe.

The ratio of rice : dals should be 1:1

Dals

Urad da l- 1/4 cup
Tur dal - 1/4 cup
Chana dal - 1/4 cup
Kabuli chana(Garbanzo beans) - 1/4 cup

Rice

Boiled rice - 1/4 cup
raw rice (I use basmati) - 1/2 cup

Semolina (sooji) - 1/4 cup

Dry red chilli - 3
Green chilli-2
Asafoetida- 1/2 tsp or more (as per your taste)

Half of an onion finely chopped
1 sprig curry leaves chopped
Dry red chilli chopped-2

Soak the dals and rice (i put the sooji alongwith rice). The dals and rice should be soaked separately.
Grind the Dals along with the dry red chilli , green chilli and asafoetida into a coarse paste.
After Grinding the dals grind the rice into a smooth paste.
Mix the dals and rice add salt to it.
Now add the chopped onion , dry red chilli and curry leaves . Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding water. It shouldn't be too watery.Make dosas like the regular dosa .
