Ingredients
Adai Batter
- 2 ladle Adai Batter enough for about 4 mini adais
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp Sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the tomato and onion slices. Slice the tomato and onion thinly.
- Prepare the green chili. Remove the seeds from the green chili and slice it thinly.
- Sauté the tomato slices. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato slices and sauté lightly until softened but still holding their shape. Set aside.
- Dry roast the chili slices. In the same skillet, dry roast the green chili slices for about a minute until fragrant. Set aside.
- Prepare the adai batter. In a bowl, combine the adai batter, sugar, salt, and cumin seeds. Mix well. Do not add water.
- Cook the mini adai dosas. Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the center of the tawa. Pour 1/2 ladle of batter onto the hot tawa and spread it gently to form a small, thin circle, about the size of your palm.
- Cover and cook. Cover the tawa with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the top of the dosa appears slightly puffed and the edges start to brown. Covering the tawa traps steam and helps the dosa cook evenly.
- Flip and cook. Flip the dosa and cook for another minute on the other side until golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble the mini adai dosas. Place a sautéed tomato slice in the center of each dosa. Arrange two onion rings around the tomato. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and garnish with the roasted green chili slices. Add a pinch of salt on top.
- Serve. These mini adai dosas can be enjoyed immediately. For lunchboxes, stack two dosas together like a burger and secure them with a toothpick.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Do not add water.
- Add cumin seeds for people with indigestion or gastritis.
- Close the lid when the dosa is put on the rawa.
- Spread dosa batter, not too thick.
- A pinch of sugar gives crispness.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle a tiny amount of sesame seeds or crushed peanuts onto each mini dosa just before flipping them.
- If you prefer a milder taste, sauté the onions and green chilies lightly before adding them to the batter.
- To make the Button Adai more kid-friendly, use a squeeze bottle or piping bag to shape the batter into precise rounds, and garnish with a dot of tomato ketchup or chutney in the center.
Expert Tips
- Experiment with different types of lentils and rice to create unique flavor profiles for your adai. Masoor dal or brown rice can add interesting textures and tastes.
- For a richer flavor, ferment the batter for a few hours or overnight. This will also enhance the dosa’s texture and make it lighter.
- Serve Button Adai with a variety of chutneys like coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or mint-coriander chutney for a complete South Indian experience.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover Button Adai can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- Reheat them on a skillet for a few minutes to restore their crispiness before serving.
