Amma's recipe.....

Ingredients:
Boiled rice - 2 cups
Toor dal - 1/2 cup
Red chillies - 6
Coconut - 3/4 cup
Onion - 1 finely chopped
Coriander leaves - 4 spoons(finely chopped)
curry leaves - 10
Salt to taste
asoefetida

Method:
Soak rice and dal for 3 hours. Grind them very coarsely with little water. Then add coconut and red chillies. Then grind coarsely for vadai(as for paruppu vadai).

Then add chopped onions, asoefetida, coriander leaves, curry leaves and mix well. Heat oil in a deep pan. Take a ball of this mixture(maybe 3 spoonful) and place it on a polythene paper and pat it to flatten it. Then fry this in the heated oil. Turn over both sides until fully cooked.

Variation:
Thengaai Adai: Grind the batter more finely before adding onion, coriander and curry leaves. Take a handful of batter and put it on the dosa pan and flatten it out.
Dosai: Add more water to the finely ground batter and make dosai.

This is the 3-in-1 recipe :)

This has been one my most favourite snack since childhood. I used to call this purse vadai, because, once it is made, all you have to do is cut a small piece at the edges. You will immediately see smoke rushing out of the vadai and a big hollow is what you see inside, like in a purse.
