Add all the dals and rice and grind a little coarsely with a little water. Transfer the batter into a bowl. Add asafoetida and salt and mix well.

Flip, drizzle some oil in the hole and cook for 1 minute more or till the adai is crisp and golden on both the sides. Serve hot with aviyal. It can also be served with grated jaggery and fresh home made butter.
