Southern Indian Breakfast Crepe: Rice and Bean Adai
- 350 grams Rice (Japanese rice or Basmati rice)
- 90 ml Dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 2 tbsp Mung bean
- 1 tbsp Ginger, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds (or powder)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Combine the rice and beans, and rinse well.
- Soak in 500 ml (or more) water overnight at room temperature.
- This photo shows the rice and beans that were soaked in water for 9 hours in the kitchen at 7C.
- They absorbed the water and softened.
- Put the beans and rice mixture, 3 tablespoons water, and the ingredients in a food processor, and pulse until they become a thick liquid.
- It's okay if the mixture is a little lumpy.
- If the mixture looks like this, it's ready.
- If there is not enough water, add more to reach the right consistency.
- The batter should not be too runny.
- Scoop up the batter with a spoon and it should drip off slowly.
- Heat up a frying pan over medium heat.
- You don't need any oil if you use a non-stick frying pan.
- I used a 20 cm frying pan.
- When the frying pan is well heated, drop in 2 tablespoons batter, and spread it out thinly with the spoon.
- Spread it out as thinly as possible.
- After spreading it out, the surface will gradually dry up.
- After 2 minutes, the edges will turn golden brown.
- Lift it up slowly from the frying pan.
- Wait until it turns golden brown before flipping it over.
- Pan-fry the other side well for about 2 minutes, pressing the crepe down with a spatula.
- When you've finished making all of the crepes, they are done.
- I made 5 crepes in the 20 cm frying pan.
- It's also fun to make them in a large frying pan.
- In India, they fold Adai Dosa in half to serve on a plate.
- Serve with chutney or raita (an Indian yogurt condiment), and enjoy.
- I added chopped Japanese leek in this one.
- Coconuts and onions are popular ingredients to add to Adai Dosa, but try it with various ingredients.
