Adai Aviyal
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...The ada batter can be made in blender as well, she normally serves it with coconut chutney. But some days she makes avial to go with it.

Hi Aarthi!
I am Japanese.
I'm not good at English, so I'm sorry if I said something wrong.
Tell me about food, not about recipes.
Last month, I traveled to India for about three weeks, and I saw many menu items called Adai Avial at Tiffan shops.
Is it common to eat Adai with Avial in India?
