Spicy Lentil Rice Pancakes (Ada)

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Lentil Rice Pancakes (Ada).

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious pancake journey, grab a large bowl and mix together chana dal, urad dal, moong dal, and rice.

2. Step 2

   Cover this delightful blend with several inches of cool water and let it soak for about 8 hours or overnight.

3. Step 3

   This soaking process is essential as it softens the ingredients, making them easier to blend into a smooth batter.

4. Step 4

   Once your mixture has soaked, drain it and transfer it to a blender or food processor.

5. Step 5

   Sprinkle in some salt and toss in a few dried red chile peppers for a hint of spice.

6. Step 6

   Blend everything together until you achieve a smooth paste.

7. Step 7

   If the mixture feels too thick, don’t hesitate to add a little water gradually until you reach a batter consistency that’s thin enough to spread easily.

8. Step 8

   Now, stir in some cumin seeds, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter for that extra burst of flavor.

9. Step 9

   Next, it’s time to heat things up! Preheat your griddle or tawa over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with a splash of cooking oil to prevent sticking.

10. Step 10

    Once the griddle is ready, pour a ladleful of your vibrant batter onto it, using the back of the ladle or a large spoon to spread it into a thin, even circle.

11. Step 11

    As the pancake cooks, keep an eye on the edges; when they start to lift, it’s time for the big flip! Carefully turn the pancake over and let it cook for a few more minutes until both sides are beautifully golden brown.

12. Step 12

    When your pancake is perfectly cooked, transfer it to a plate and serve it hot off the griddle.

13. Step 13
