**Instructions:**
**For Adai Batter:**
1. Wash the raw rice, parboiled rice, urad dal, chana dal, toor dal, and moong dal together, and soak them in enough water for 4-6 hours.
2. After soaking, drain the water from the lentils and rice.
3. In a blender, combine the soaked lentils and rice with dried red chilies, green chilies, grated ginger, asafoetida, curry leaves, and salt.
4. Grind the mixture into a coarse batter, adding a little water as needed. The batter should have a texture similar to a thick pancake batter.
**For Cooking Adai:**
5. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet (tava) on medium-high heat.
6. Grease the skillet lightly with oil using a cloth or paper towel.
7. Pour a ladleful of Adai batter onto the center of the skillet.
8. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to create a thick dosa.
9. Drizzle a little oil around the edges and on the top of the Adai.
10. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low-medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until the dosa turns golden brown and crisp on the bottom.
11. Flip the Adai and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until it’s cooked through.
12. Repeat the process to make more Adai dosas with the remaining batter.
**For Serving:**
13. Serve the savory Adai dosas hot with a side of avial or coconut chutney.
Enjoy the heartiness of Adai, a flavorful South Indian dosa made from a blend of lentils and rice, often paired with delicious avial!
