Whenever I prepare this I remember my big mom and my younger sister. When we were kids, big mom prepares this for evening tea time. My cousins and I chit chat and finish this in no time. My younger sister still complains my mom for not preparing this crispy like my big mom. When i replicated the recipe with my own changes my hubby did fall for this. You will love this for breakfast/tea time/dinner. You do not need any side dish for this adai. Though I grind it coarse, I don't prepare them thick because we love to eat this in dosa texture. My little one loves them too.
Ingredients:
Bengal gram - 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon(for tempering)
Toor dal - 2/3 cup
Moong dal - 2/3 cup
Urad dal - 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon(for tempering)
Raw rice / Pacharisi - 2/3 cup
Onion - 1 cup(Roughly chopped)

Ginger - 1/2 inch sized piece
Garlic - 6 pods

Asafoetida - 1/2 teaspoon
Oil - 2 tablespoons

Method:
- Wash and Soak Bengal gram, Toor dal, Moong dal, Urad dal, Raw rice together for 1 hour and grind them to coarse paste.
- Grind them to raw paste (Onion,Green chilli,Garlic,Ginger,1 teaspoon of cumin seeds,salt).
- Mix the dal batter with the ground onion paste(I ground them a bit early which turned raw onion colour to dark)
- Heat oil and add mustard(let it splatter), 1 tablespoon of urad dal, 1 tablespoon of bengal gram, curry leaves and add the tempering to the batter with asafoetida.
- This will be your batter consistency for thick adai. You can adjust water to make it to your required consistency.
- Heat tawa, grease with oil and add a scoop of the batter, spread like dosa and let it roast on both sides.
- Adai / Parippu adai / Parippu dosa is ready to serve.
