Indian-Style Adai Crepes
Ingredients
  • 1 cup split Bengal gram (chana dal)
  • 1 cup skinned split black lentils (urad dal)
  • 1/2 cup split yellow lentils (moong dal)
  • 1 cup rice
  • salt to taste
  • 2 dried red chile peppers, or to taste
  • water, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons cumin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Instructions
1
Combine chana dal, urad dal, moong dal, and rice in a large container, then cover it with several inches of cool water. Allow the mixture to soak for an extended period of 8 hours or overnight.
2
Using a mortar and pestle, grind the soaked dal, rice, salt, and red chile peppers into a smooth, consistent paste. Add sufficient water to the mixture until you achieve a thin batter consistency that can be easily spread.
3
Stir cumin seeds into the prepared batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
4
Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat. Lightly coat the edges and middle of the griddle with oil to prevent sticking.
5
Carefully pour the batter onto the preheated griddle, spreading it into a thin circle using the back of a ladle or a large spoon. Cook for a short while, then flip over to the other side and cook for a few more minutes.
