Crispy Adai | Mixed Lentils Crepe

Crispy Adai
Adai is a South Indian crepe prepared with variety of dals and Rice.  It is a protein and iron rich breakfast / dinner recipe.  Usually the adai won't be crisp as the onions, coriander leaves are added to the batter before preparing Adai. As my family loves crispy Adai, I grind onions and coriander leaves also  along with rice and dal. Enjoy the adai with coconut chutney or AvialPlease check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing South Indian Crispy Adai.

Tips:
Adjust chilly to your taste.
My mom usually don't grind  coriander leaves and onions. She directly adds finely chopped onion and coriander leaves to the grind-ed batter. 
Cook Adai in medium flame. Adai takes more time to cook than normal dosas.
