  3. 3

    Soak Quinoa, rice, dals, fenugreek seeds in water for at least 4-6 hours. Grind in a blender with ginger, chili, garlic, chili, pepper corns. I let the batter ferment overnight. Prior to making adai add amaranth, onion and curry leaves. Stired in spices. Add enough water to make a fairly thick batter. Consistency should be between adai and dosa batters.

    I use cast iron skillet to make adai dosai. Keep the skillet over medium heat. When hot, grease with a teaspoon oil Use 1 ½ cups of batter to make the adai dosa. Spread the batter on the skillet, make a round not as thin as dosa or thick as adai. You may top with a few amaranth leaves. 2 teaspoons of oil on top. Cover and cook both sides. In 3-4 minutes a nutritious and Adai dosa will be ready.
