Notes
- The rice needs at least 6 hours of soaking to get the thick batter consistency for this dish.
- You can also use leftover rice to make this adai dosa.
- Add finely chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, and curry leaf to the batter for a more flavorful adai dosa.
- Add grated vegetables like carrots, cabbage, or beetroot to the adai batter.
- Do not over-ferment the adai batter. The adai will become very sour if you do so.
- If you use store-bought adai batter, add a little water to get the desired consistency.
