Wash rice and dals and soak together with red chillies for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Drain and grind to a coarse batter- not too coarse. Add the rest of the ingredients (except oil) and mix together. Let it stand for 15 minutes. Add a little water if required. Heat a heavy tava. When it is hot, pour half a spoon of oil and spread well. Sprinkle a little water. This helps spread the oil. Pour a ladleful of batter and spread like dosa. Apply a little oil along the periphery of the adai. Make a couple of holes on the surface of the adai with the spoon and apply half a spoon on the adai and holes to improve the cooking. You can optionally cover the adai with a lid for a minute. When the edges turn brown, turn the adai over and cook the other side.
