According to me adai is a wholesome food or tiffin because it is rich in protien content due to the pulse which we include while preparing the batter. Also lots of small onion which is added for taste and richness to adai. To all this now in this recipe i am adding fresh moringa leaves while making the adai. Surely you will love the taste of the adai.
This adai is packed with health benefits so don't leave without trying this when you get fresh drumstick tree leaves.

For detail refer adai making
Likewise grind the soaked dal's and mix with ground rice mixture. We have to be careful while grinding the dal else it will become like a paste.
Now in a kadai heat oil and add mustard seed. Once it splutters add urad dal and roast till golden brown.
Add asafoetida, chopped small onion, curry leaves and fry till onion is cooked.
Add the garnishing ingredients to ground rice & dal mixture along with required amount of salt.
Mix all the ingredients well.
Take required amount of adai flour, add required amount of water, add the moringa leaves as you like (some might like large amount some like just few leaves) to make adai in tawa.
Use this adai flour (mavu) and make adai in heated tawa. You can use sesame oil or coconut oil to cook adai.
It will be soft to eat. Goes well with coconut chutney.
