Adai is a kind of pancake made with rice and lentils. There are tons of variations and here I have used spinach to make it healthy. This is also a nice way to get spinach into picky eaters. The abundance of masoor dal lying in the pantry prompted for this adai and it did not disappoint. You can add onions instead of spinach too. Masoor dal can be replaced entirely with channa dal or you can also use an equal mix of toor dal and channa dal.Some of the adais posted include kaara adai, oats adai, quinoa adai and so on. Aviyal is a perfect side for adai, but you can also pair this with any chutney or podi. Off to the recipe.
