Instructions: Wash the rices and dal together.

Add plenty of water and methi seeds.

Allow to soak for 7-8 hours or overnight.

Rewash the rice by draining the water 2-3 times.

Grind to a paste. Rawa-like grains should be felt in the batter. Add soda bicarb and salt and mix well.

Keep aside in a warm place for 8-10 hours.

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 teaspoon of ghee or oil over it.

Remove with spatula when crisp.

Serve hot with chutney and / or sambar.
