I learnt this recently from Pavithra’s mother-in-law. It came out very delicious and can be used as a substitute to our regular adai.

• One measure of boiled rice(or Idly rice), One measure of raw rice, 1/2 measure of Chenna dhal, 1/2 measure of Toor dhal, 1/4 measure of Urad dhal, 1/4 measure of Moong dhal(Paasi parupu), 1/4 measure of Green grams(Pachai parupu) – the mixture needs to be washed and soaked in water atleast for 2 hours. Add 10 red chillies to it while soaking. It will float anyways
• Use a grinder to grind it to soft and little watery like our dosa/idly batter.
• While grinding, add turmeric, salt, ginger pieces, curry leaves & asafotedia powder(perungayam).

Once the batter is ready for use, add finely cut onions, coriander leaves and make think adais.
