  I make adai as per the following measures:
  
  Soak raw rice 1/2 cup and par boiled rice 1 cup, 1/3 cup of toor dal, moongdal, channa dal and 1/2 cup of urad dal (try and use black one)
  
  
  Grind the above after 3 hrs with 4 green chillies and 4 red chillies, a small t spoon of hing and salt. Make adais.

  Hi gayathri,
  
  I use to make like this.
  
  raw rice: channa, thoor and urad dhals =1:1
  
  Take channa dhal max., say 1/2 cup, urad dhal < 1/4 cup enough, rest take thoor dhal.
  
  Wash and soak them in water for 2 hrs. Drain water, grind it with pepper, red chillies, hing, jeera and salt. Grind them coarsely, so that it will come out crispy. Qty all depends on ur taste. Leave them for 15 mts, then start making adai.
  
  U can take vegetables like onion, cabbage, carrot chop them finely, mix with the batter, add chopped curry leaves and coriander leaves. Adding pudina gives u an extra flavour.
  
  Optional: Can add kaaramani, in that case, reduce the measurement of urad dhal.
  
  bye

  Hi!
  you can try this method for adai also..
  Soak one measure each of tur dal, moong dal, chana dal and urad dal. Take 4 measures of raw rice and soak it in water for abt 3-4 hrs. Grind all the above coarsely with some ginger, hing, coriander leaves, curry leaves, green chilles or dried red chillies and salt. This mixture gives you very crisp dosas also.

  Add some chopped fresh mint leaves (pudina) to the batter & make adais. You'll never make adais without mint leaves again...it's such a wonderful combo!

  For Ragi Adai, just onions, green chillies, karuvepillai and fenugreek leaves (venthaiya keerai. It's tasting good.
