Toor Daal Adai

It has been 9 months since our last post. How time flies ! We had been busy in the last few months shifting back to India and travelling to Germany. Hope to continue posting more recipes - at least a couple each week.

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 !
