Enduri Pitha

🇮🇳 Indian

Urad-rice pitha steamed in banana leaves, Prathamastami tradition. Crisp where it should be, pillowy where it counts. Plate with tomato chutney and filter coffee alongside.

Prep 29 min Cook 16 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Ginger1-inch piece
  • Green Chili2
  • Urad Dal1 cup
  • Mustard Seeds1/2 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Banana Leaves1 cup, chopped
  • Coconut Oil2 tbsp
  • Rice Flour1 cup
  • Grated Coconut1 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the rice and urad dal (with fenugreek seeds) separately for 4-6 hours, then grind each to a smooth batter with cold water, combine and ferment overnight.

  2. 2

    Stir the fermented batter gently; it should be thick but pourable. Add a splash of water only if needed.

  3. 3

    Heat a cast-iron tawa or paniyaram pan over medium; a drop of water should dance and vanish.

  4. 4

    Spoon the batter in, swirl or shape quickly, and let it set undisturbed for two minutes.

  5. 5

    Wait for the edges to lift on their own, then flip for a minute more; serve hot with chutney and sambar.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
