Ingredients

• ✓ split yellow lentil
• chana dal
• black lentil
• rice
• water
• red chile pepper
• salt
• cumin seed
• cooking oil

Instructions

1. 1 Combine chana dal, urad dal, rice, and moong dal in a large bowl; cover with several inches of cool water. Soak 8 hours to overnight.
2. 2 Grind soaked dal-rice mixture, chile peppers, and salt into a paste using a mortar and pestle; transfer to a bowl. Add enough water to make a batter just thin enough to spread; stir in cumin seeds.
3. 3 Heat a griddle (or a tawa) over medium heat; lightly grease with oil around edges and in the middle. Ladle some batter on the griddle; spread into a thin circle using the back of the ladle or a large spoon. Cook about 3 minutes, then flip. Cook about 3 minutes more; transfer to a plate and serve immediately. Adas are best eaten hot off the griddle. Repeat with remaining batter.
