    Recipe says 4-5 red chillies but the picture shows more than a dozen. Which one should be used?

      The pictures were taken while preparing larger quantity. 4 to 5 chillies for the given ingredients should be fine

    A variation to this - use only thoor dhall as bengal gram and urid dhal make the adai soft. Using only thoor dal makes the adai lot crisper. Another variation is to use rice rava instead of grinding rice. This makes the adai even crisper.

    Wonderful madam. I tried it without vendayam/ urid dhall & substituted raw rice with boiled rice. It tasted nice by adding saunf a bit
