Adai Avial

An adai when served with aviyal makes a wholesome, nutritious meal. Aviyal is a medley of boiled vegetables (think carrots, potatoes, chow-chow, white pumpkin, yellow cucumber - mostly the water based veggies etc) simmered in yogurt, coconut gravy. Its so easy to make the batter for adai, no need to toil over
fermenting the batter. The amount of lentils added does not have any hard and fast rules. But, I follow the measurements from my mom! My MOMS the BEST! (that's how it is for all of us isn't it?)
