Saltto taste
Ginger1-inch piece

Mustard Seeds1/2 tsp
Curry Leaves2 sprigs
Asafoetidaa pinch
Cashews1/4 cup
Coconut Oil2 tbsp
Semolina (Rava)1 cup

Instructions

1
Grind the soaked rice and dal to a thick, fluffy batter — it should ribbon off the spoon — and ferment 8 hours.
2
Loosen the batter to pouring consistency — think thick pancake batter, not glue.
3
Get the pan properly hot; the first attempt tells you everything about the temperature.
4
Spoon the batter in, swirl or shape quickly, and let it set undisturbed for two minutes.
5
Wait for the edges to lift on their own, then flip for a minute more; serve hot with chutney and sambar.
