remove batter, add in salt, asafoetida powder, curry leaves
prepare adai dosa , as thin or as thick as you like
Here i have prepared it thinly without adding anything to the batter such as chopped onions , ginger etc ..This is how we like the adai dosa, as it is good for breakfast as a very light food .
The same batter when kept overnight in fridge , ferments slowly and gives you a lovely texture , colour to the batter, and can be made just like ghee roast , very thin and crispy as shown in the collage pic .
This is a super quick recipe for breakfast or evening diner also, as it doesn't take much time or planning, avoids use of rice and therefore very diabetic friendly food and good for both elders and children .
Notes :
You can add drumstick leaves for more healthy adai or any spinach variety .
This batter can be used as a replacement to prepare paper thin crispy ghee roast , so in that case dont add asafoetida powder, cumin to batter or curry leaves, keep batter plain and use it to prepare a crispy ghee roast . It has natural reddish colour due to the bansi rava used .
