ADAI / MIXED LENTILS DOSA

Hi,

ADAI / LENTILS DOSA !!! This is one of the healthiest version of dosa and we make it often in our home.But I wont make adai often as we don't like the raw smell of batter and also we cannot make much crispy dosa in adai batter so I will ferment it to make karadosa.

Once in a while I will make adai too , they are very healthy and also filling . The recipe is simple  , you can add any lentils of your choice but base recipe is as below,
