Vegetable Adai is a close cousin to Dosa and is very popular in South India. This is a delicious & nutritious dish made with mixed vegetables. Serve with coconut chutney or avial for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
This dish is perfect for the little kids who refuse to eat vegetables. You can incorporate almost any vegetable and they would not notice.
At the same time it is also relatively easy to make this as all you need is just the batter.
