Notes
Makes 6 adais.
Spreading the batter over the tawa could be hard for beginners with the chunky onions. You can add everything except onions, spread the batter easily and then sprinkle the onions over it, this way it might stick to the batter. But there are some disadvantages doing this is way,it may easily burn the onions when flipped moreover they might sometimes fall apart too.
