After yesterday's Azhagar Kovil Dosa, we have for Alphabet B (in the A-Z Dosa series this month), Black Rice Adai or Kavuni Arisi Adai. Black Rice a.k.a forbidden rice became popular in the east, but our own Chettinad Cuisine uses this rice in a very delicious sweet. As with most Adai (thick lentil-based Dosa), this Adai too has a lot of proteins and very little rice.
As I wanted to experiment with Black rice, I tried with a small quantity and was well received by the spouse who liked the nuttiness which came with the black rice. I have had black rice salad as well as a cooked black rice + Thai Red curry Combo (both recipes coming soon !), so I personally liked the glutinous black rice.
It's worth a try once if one is open to experimenting with new cuisines / ingredients.

To prepare the dosas:
Add the toppings to the dosa batter, heat the tava to medium hot, grease it well.
