Mixed Dal Adai ( Mixed Lentils Pancake)

In todays fast life with work,home and kids ,we overlook our food intake and hardly manage to balance the required amount of fruits,vegetables,protiens ,fats and carbs in our diet. we all think of cutting calories without eating right. somehow getting all the essential vitamins and minerals in our diet is very crucial to keep up a good healthy lifestyle. I think Mixed dal adai once a  week could make some difference as it contains 4 different kinds of lentils,4-5 different mixed vegetables and packs in a great flavor for all the picky eaters.
