Amma's Ada Dosa / Mum's Lentil & Rice Crepes / How to Make Ada Batter

 

Amma makes a huge batch of dosa batter each weekend which will last us for that whole week..For grinding this, she uses a old fashioned big wet grinder which we are having for more than 25 years..While she plan to grind dosa batter, she also make appam batter and ada batter in the same day to prevent less washing of dishes..Sometimes she makes vada batter too..

This is one of her special ada recipe..If you are people who are not aware of this delicious Indian crepes..It is just a combo of rice and lentil crepes which is spiced up a little..I highly recommend you guys to try this...You can grind this in regular blender too..
