Chickpea Adai With Bell Pepper Chutney



I love adai as they are healthy n filling too,recently I had soaked chickpea in my fridge so by soaking the remaining ingredients I prepared this adai in two hrs ,with this I made bell pepper chutney too n its a lovely combination .So here is the recipe

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup chickpea (soaked for 6-7 hrs)
  • 1/2 cup mung dal/lentil
  • 1/2 cup toor dal (split red gram/lentil)
  • 1/2 urad dal (split black gram/lentil)
  • 1/2 cup chana dal (brown chickpea lentil)
  • 1/2 cup rice
  • 2 chopped green chillies
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/8 tsp hing (asafoetida)
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp oil for each adai
Cooking Procedure

Soak mung , toor n channa dal together in a bowl with 3 cup water for 2 hrs n also soak rice n urad dal in another bowl with 3 cups water.

After 2 hrs take the first bowl rinse n grind the lentils along with soaked chickpeas.Then grind the soaked rice n urad too to a coarse paste. And then mix all the grinded paste to a semi solid batter. Add hing,salt,chopped green chillies,cilantro n cumin seeds. Mix nicely n ur adai batter is ready

Heat a tava and pour one cup adai batter at the centre n spread it into a circle with circular motion to about 8 to 10 inches then pour half tsp oil around it n sprinkle some onions n chilli flakes on top of it , after 1 to 2 min(once it golden brown) flip it over n let it cook for another one min. Serve hot with chutney .
