Ingredients:

Pearl millet 1 cup 

Tur dal 1 cup

Yellow split peas half cup

Channa dal half cup 

Moong dal half cup

Dried red chilies 2-3

Curry leaves 1-2 sprig

Salt to taste

Asafoetida half tsp

Oil for cooking as needed

Method:-

Wash the mixed millet and lentils thoroughly, then soak them in water for about 4-6 hours or overnight.
After soaking, drain the water from the millet and lentils. Don`t discard the soaked water. Used it for grinding. Grind them along with dried red chilies, salt, and asfoetida into a coarse batter using a blender. Add a little water if needed to facilitate grinding, but ensure the batter remains thick and coarse. 

Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl. Add curry leaves.  Mix everything well to combine.
Heat a non-stick griddle or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, grease it lightly with oil or ghee.
Take a ladleful of the batter and spread it evenly on the hot griddle to form a thick similar to a dosa. Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges.

Cook the Millet Adai on medium heat until the bottom side turns golden brown and crispy.
Flip the Adai and cook the other side until it is also golden brown and cooked through.
Once both sides are cooked to perfection, remove the Millet Adai from the griddle and serve hot with Onion chutney, tomato chutney, or any other accompaniment of your choice.

Enjoy!!
