Toor Daal Adai

Toor Dal Adai is a variation of Adai that we had already posted. Toor Dal is one versatile lentil that we use in every day cooking, be it sambar, or rasam or even dal curry. In this variety of Adai , the use of Toor Dal makes the Adai crispy. The best thing about Adai is that it need not be fermented before we use it so this is one of best choice when crave for dosa !
