Crispy adai / Moru moru adai recipe/ lentil dosa. After seeing adai recipes in many blogs, I found that no two adai recipe resembles the same.U all have your own style of making it with different proportions of lentils.So i wanted to post mine with which u get a crispy (moru moru) adai.My husband likes this adai just because its crispy.I always eat adai with sugar as accompaniment.But my mom used to make curry leaves chutney.This is also a great combination.So i have given the recipes of both adai and chutney.
Ingredients required:
