Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1/4 cup split urad dal (black gram)
  • 1/4 cup poha (flattened rice)
  • 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Water as needed (approx 2 cups for soaking and grinding)
  • 2 tbsp oil or ghee for cooking
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp baking soda (for extra crispness)

Instructions

  1. 1Rinse the rice, poha, urad dal and fenugreek seeds; soak rice and poha together in water for 4–6 hours, and soak urad dal separately for the same time.
  2. 2Drain the urad dal, grind it to a smooth batter adding water gradually, then transfer to a large bowl.
  3. 3Drain the rice and poha mixture, grind to a slightly coarse batter, adding water until the consistency is pourable but not runny.
  4. 4Combine the two batters, add salt, mix well, and let the mixture ferment in a warm place for 8–12 hours until it rises and develops a mildly sour aroma.
  5. 5Stir the fermented batter gently; if desired, add a pinch of baking soda and mix just before cooking.
  6. 6Heat a non‑stick tawa or cast‑iron skillet over medium heat, drizzle a few drops of oil and spread a ladleful of batter in a circular motion to form a thin crepe.
  7. 7Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges turn golden and crisp, then flip if desired and cook the other side briefly.
  8. 8Serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or your favorite accompaniments.
