A South Indian dish, very similar to dosa but has much higher protein due to additional lentils, this can easily be made and perfect high protein meal. Traditionally, made with just channa dal, toor dal and rice, we keep adding different dals to make it healthier and add variety of flavors.

1/4 cup channa dal
1/4 cup toor dal
1/4 cup horsegram dal
2 tbsp green mong (whole or split)
2 tbsp moong dal
2 tbsp fenugreek /methi

2 onions, finely chopped
2 tsp fennel seeds/ saunf
6-7 chillies
1 cup moringa / drumstick leaves , chopped
salt to taste
oil to prepare adai
Instructions
Wash rice and all dals thoroughly. In a large bowl, add all dals, rice, fenugreek, chilies, fennel seeds and then add about 5-6 cups of water to soak the mixture.
Soak the mixture for 4-5 hour or overnight.
In a blender or wet grinder, add the mixture and blend to smooth texture similar to pancake or dosa batter(add water as necessary).
This stays in fridge for 1-2 days so good option for quick meal prep but best to use it right away.
Once you are ready to prepare adai , just add about 1 tbsp salt, moringa leaves and mix well.
On a hot tava/griddle, brush some oil on tava and spread batter like uthappam. Add some onions on top and cook at medium low covered. After 2-3 minutes, add some oil on top and flip to cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes or till golden brown.
Serve hot with some chutney or as-is. Enjoy the healthy yumminess!
