Dals are good, inexpensive sources of protein. Cereals and pulses lack an amino acid each, which makes it essential to combine them in a balanced way to improve the protein quality. This logic plays out beautifully in the recipe of Adai, a traditional south Indian recipe to be treasured.

I made some minor modifications to the recipe and it worked great for me! I added a tsp of methi seed while soaking the lentils, since it aids digestion. Also, I only added onions in the vegetables section since I was running short of time. It is an excellent breakfast option or whenever you want to keep your meal light.
