Adai (Spiced Rice And Lentil Crepes) | Rasaala

Ingredients

• 2 cups rice (raw rice)
• 3/4 cup toor dhal (thuvaram paruppu)
• 3/4 cup channa dhal (kadalai paruppu)
• 6-8 red chilies (reduce for less heat, this would provide medium heat)

• 1 medium onion
• 2 or 3 medium tomatoes (some people swear they would never put tomatoes, try it! We love it)
• 1 sprig curry leaves
• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
• 1/4 cup fresh mint (optional)
• 1/4 cup fresh/frozen coconut (optional; adds wonderful flavor and richness)
