Kimchi Jeon - Adai Dosai
Both Kimchi Jeon and Adai Dosai incorporate fermented ingredients. Kimchi Jeon is made with kimchi, which is a traditional Korean fermented cabbage dish. Adai Dosai includes a fermented batter made from a combination of lentils and rice, which undergoes a natural fermentation process. Both dishes are prepared by making a batter and pan-frying it like a pancake. Kimchi Jeon batter typically consists of all-purpose flour or rice flour mixed with water and eggs, along with chopped kimchi and other optional ingredients. Adai Dosai batter is made by grinding soaked lentils and rice together with spices and herbs to create a thick pancake-like batter. Both dishes allow for customization and variation. Kimchi Jeon can be made with different types of kimchi or combined with additional ingredients like meat, seafood, or vegetables. Adai Dosai can be made with various types of lentils and rice, and additional ingredients like onions, chillies, and grated vegetables can be added to enhance the flavor and texture.
