Notes

• Can soak Redchillie along with the Grains..
• If you like hing flavor then add more for a best taste.. Adding hing helps in digestion and gastric..
• If your batter is runny, you can make a thin and crispy adai.. my MIL preparer he same.. but i prefer this tiny thick adai..
• Can add Drumstick leaves to the batter.. to vary the version.. i don’t have drumstick leaves in hands..
• This goes well with Idli lodi, Chutney too..
