• Wet grind coarsely with red chillies, ginger, green chillies and hing to form a thick batter.
• Add salt to the batter (as per taste).
• Tear the curry leaves to bits and mix into the batter.
• In a flat iron tava, put a few drops of oil and let the tava heat up.
• Spread the oil evenly over the tava.
• Take a tbsp of the adai batter and spread it out on the tava like a dosa - only you have to spread it thicker than a dosa.
