Quinoa Adai


Adai is a savory crepe made with rice and lentils normally. Quinoa does replace rice very well and no one at home could guess the mystery ingredient. Adai is packed with protein from the lentils and adding quinoa to it made it even more healthy.
 

Idli rice - 1/2 cup

quinoa - 3/4 cup

toor dal - 1/2 cup

channa dal - 1/2 cup

urad dal - 1/4 cup

red chillies - 3

salt - to taste

asafoetida or hing- a pinch

oil - as needed

Instructions:

Soak rice and quinoa together and the dals together for about 5 hours.
Blend rice, quinoa and red chillies coarsely and then add the dals and blend further using water as needed. We want a batter to be of pouring consistency, but not too runny.

To the batter add salt and asafoetida,. Mix well.

Heat a tawa and pour a ladle of batter on it. Spread to form a circle and drizzle about 1/2 tsp of oil around the edges. Flip over in a few minutes to cook the other side. When both sides are cooked and golden brown, adai is done.
