Instructions

1
Grind the soaked rice and dal to a smooth batter; ferment overnight for that tangy lift.
2
Heat a cast-iron griddle until a drop of water dances; pour a ladle of batter and spread it thin.
3
Drizzle oil or ghee around the edges and cook until the base turns lacy and golden.
4
Flip, cook 30 seconds more, and fold onto the plate — crisp outside, soft within.
5
Serve with sambar and coconut chutney.

Chef's tip

A pinch of baking soda just before steaming rescues a slow batter.
