Five Dhals Adai – A Healthy Start For Your Day


Adai is a healthy dosa made with mixed lentils and rice. I usually try to make different types of adai. This adai is made with five dhals and brown rice and boiled rice. This is a fiber rich breakfast which is very good for people with diabetes.

We have to soak the lentils and rice together for 3 to 4 hours and then grind to a coarse batter in a grinder by adding red chilies. Then we can make dosas and serve hot with tomato chutney or onion chutney.

Ingredients:

  • Toor Dhal - ¼ cup
  • Black Ured Dhal - ¼ cup
  • Whole Masoor Dhal - ¼ cup
  • Moong Dhal - ¼ cup
  • Channa Dhal - ¼ cup
  • Brown Rice - 1 cup
  • Idly Rice or Par Boiled Rice - 1 cup
  • Red Chillies - 5 or 6
  • Salt - As needed
  • Oil - For making dosa

Method:

  • Soak toor dhal, black ured dhal, whole masoor dhal, channa dhal, moong dhal, red chillies and both the rice together in enough water for 4 hours.
  • Grind them in a grinder to a coarse batter.
  • At the end add salt and mix well.
  • Heat a dosa pan and take 1 ladle full of batter and spread a circular dosa.
  • Put two teaspoons of oil around the dosa and in the centre.
  • When the dosa is cooked on one side carefully turn the dosa to the other side and cook.
  • Serve hot with chutney of your choice.
