Ingredients Serving: 10

Raw rice - 2 and 1/4 cup
Black gram or Karuppu Uzhudhu (whole) - 1 cup
Black pepper - 2 teaspoon
Cumin seeds - 2 teaspoon
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Curry Leaves - a handful
Ghee - to make the adai
Salt - as needed or 1 teaspoon

Instructions

Wash and soak the raw rice and black gram for 4 hours.
Grind the rice and dhal to a thin rava consistency. (Do not add more water when grinding. The batter should be little thick only.) At the end, add salt and mix it well. Let it ferment for 4 to 5 hours.
In a mixer jar, add the fresh ginger, pepper, cumin seeds, curry leaves and grind it coarsely. Now add the crushed masala paste and mix it well thoroughly.
Heat a dosa pan and spread the batter similarly like how it's done while cooking adai dosai. Add ghee and cook on both the sides till it turns golden brown in colour.
Serve hot with coconut chutney.
