Ingredients:

Tuvar (Toor) Dhal- ½ cup

Bengal gram Dhal ½ cup

Urad (Black gram) Dhal- 1 tbsp

Raw rice- ¼  cup

Boiled rice- ¼ cup

Tender drumstick leaves-1 cup- finely cut

Coconut grated- ¼ cup

Dry red chillies-6

Salt to taste

Asafoetida- ½ tsp

Desi Ghee- a little

Oil for roasting

Method:

Soak  all dhals, rice, dry chillies together for an hour.  Grind all these along with asafetida, salt and coconut gratings to a coarse paste. 

Lightly roast the drumstick leaves in a skillet (kadai) using a little oil. Add the drumstick to the coarse paste. 

Take a ladle full and pour it on a pre-heated thick tawa and spread it slightly thick and evenly into a round shape to make Adai. Using a spoon, apply oil all around the Adai for getting a crisp finish.  

Spread a spoon of ghee on  the hot Adai before serving along with tomato sauce or sweet and sour chutney.
