Recipes Bread Quick Bread Recipes Ada (Adai) 4.3 (4) 3 Reviews 3 Photos Ada (adai) is a dosa (crêpe) usually served at breakfast. It is made with a mixture of lentils and rice and is quite filling. One usually eats ada with podi (south Indian spicy chutney powder) and mango pickle (avakkai). Since the batter is made with raw lentils, it gets fermented easily. It will keep in the refrigerator for 1 or 2 days maximum.

Ladle some batter on the tawa; spread into a thin circle using the back of the ladle or a large spoon. Cook about 3 minutes, then flip.
