Adai

Breakfast is most important meal of the day for me. If I have good breakfast I am in good mood. I prefer savory items for breakfast. This is protein packed breakfast.


Ingredients:
Black Urad dal whole - 1/4 cup
Par Boiled Rice - 1 cup
Tuwar Dal - 1/4 cup
Red chilli - 3/4 (as per taste, optional if kids don't like it)
Heeng - 1/2 tsp
Curry Leaves - 2 strands
Salt as per taste

Method:
Soak the dal and rice for 3-4 hours or over night. Drain water and roughly grind all the ingredients together. Not soft like a paste, still you should be able to feel the texture. The best part of Adai is you can make it as soon as the batter is ready, it need not ferment. Make adai like dosa, but little thick. Enjoy and save rest of the batter in fridge.
