Soak rice, dal and methi in water for 4-6 hours. Drain. Add ginger, chilli, garlic and water and grind in a grinder. The batter should be slightly thicker. Add the required salt and stir. Rest for1 hour. Before making adai, add onion, curry leaves and fennel to the batter. Add grated cucumber and mix well.
4

Place the skillet over medium heat; I use cast iron skillet as it retains heat well. When the skillet is hot enough grease the skillet. Spread 1 cup of batter on the skillet, as you would do for making dosa. Adai does not have to be thin. Add a tablespoon of oil evenly on top. Cover with a lid. Both sides of adai should be well cooked (golden brown). Remove from the skillet.
5

Always taste before serving Serve with sambar, your favorite chutney, pickles, or chili powder. I served with onion tomato sambar and homemade lemon pickle
