    Hi Mullai,

    I would like to know whether this batter requires any fermentation and also how long can this batter be stored in the refrigerator?

    Your answer will be helpful.

    hey thx suganswami,
    i hv heard that moong dhal is also 2 b added with the other dhal…
    Could someone help me out in this,if yes,then how much should i add…

    1. Suganswami

      You are welcome, Riya. I saw your question about 'pasi dhal' in a different page. It is nothing but moong dhal. You can checK the measurement there. But, moong dhal is optional for adai…

      HIII friend
      here i m giving u the recipie for making sambar powder at home

      Channa dal-1/4cup
      coriander seeds-1and half cups
      Thuvar or harhar ki dal-1/4cup
      Methi-One n half Tspoon.
      mustard-1 tsp
      curry leaves-few
      turmeric-half spoon
      hing- a pinch
      redchillies-20 [ u better increase or reduce the amount of redchillies according to its quality of spicy]

      dry roast in kadai all the ingredients seperately till the flavour comes out from it.finally grind everything into nice powder n u can store in a air tight jar. note: after grinding the powder keep it for getting cool in room temperature after that only u have to store in jar.
      when u make sambar add this sambar powder [two spoon] for one cup dhal measurement. first u try n increase or decrese according to ur taste.

      now i m going to give u a instant sambar powder we call in tamil
      araichi vita sambar or hotel sambar

      it goes well with idli dosai n even with rice also,.

      Red chillies-4
      dhania – two tablespoons
      channa dhal-one table sps.
      mustard-1/2tsp
      methi-1/2tsp
      pepper-1/2tsp
      jeera-one tsp
      curry leaves -few
      oil to fry this

      fry every ingredients together in little oil. n keep it aside let it cool then grind it add some water n grind into semi liquid
      consistency. if u wish u can add two tablespoons of grated coconut when u fry.

      instead sambar powder u just add this paste n make asusual how u make the samber.
      really superb tatse. try it n let me know.

      Hiii Shiva
      here the recipe for IDLI PODI

      take equal measurement of Black gram dhal n Bengal gram [each dhal is around one big laddle or one cup]
      gooseberrry size Tamarind
      Ellu seeds— two table spoons
      plus hing a bit
      redchillies-6 or 7 [ if u need more spicy u can add some more chillies like to say 12 chillies]
      fry everything seperately in kadai with little oil
      n finally fry that tamarind. add salt make it cool then grind it coarsely let it cool for some time then u can store in airtight jar.

      when u need to have this powder u can add just gingelly oil into this powder n have it with dosa or idli or adai.

    Your website is very interesting with mouthwatering pictures.
    In the preparation of Adai batter, addition of fenugreek seeds (1/2 tsp) gives good aroma, better taste and also helps to digest “protein rich” adai.
