There are several varieties of Adai. Adai-Avial is a very popular tiffin in Tamil Nadu. Here is a simple one that can be prepared quickly, if we keep the batter handy in an air tight food grade container. I also add Soya Dal to the original recipe to enhance nutrition.

Channa Dal 1cup.
Soya dal(broken) 2 tablespoons
