Ingredients :
3 cups parboiled rice (washed and soaked overnight).
1 cup urad dal (washed and soaked overnight)
1/2 tsp. soda bicarbonate
Salt to taste
Method of preparation:
Having soaked both rice and dal separately, wash well with plenty of water. Grind dal to a very fine paste.Grind rice till fine grains are left (like very fine semolina). Mix both rice and dal together after grinding. Add soda bi-carb and salt and beat well. Add a little water if necessary.The batter should be fairly thick. Cover and keep aside for 7-8 hours, undisturbed. (preferably in a warm place). Beat the curds well. Add to the batter, add more water if required. The consistency of the batter should be thick enough to thickly coat on a spoon when dipped. Heat the iron griddle or non-stick tawa well. Pour a spoonful of batter in the centre, spread with the back of the spoon to a thin round. Pour a tsp. of ghee or oil over it. Remove with spatula when crisp.
