Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup 160g / 5.6ozRice
1/3 cup 78mlUrad dal
1/3 cup 78mlChana dal
1/3 cup 78mlYellow split peas
1 teaspoon 5mlSalt
1 teaspoon 5mlRed chile powder
1 teaspoon 5mlOnion - (opt) (large)
1   Carrot - (opt)
1/4 cup 23g / 0.8ozCoconut - grated (opt)

Recipe Instructions

Mix rice, chana dal, urad dal, and yellow split peas in a large vessel. Soak in a lot of water for about 2 hours.

Grind the soaked mixture with chile powder and salt coarsely, without adding much water.

Ferment for about 3 - 4 hours, then refrigerate or freeze. In cold weather, the fermenting process might take longer, and it might be a good idea to ferment in an oven (the pilot light will keep the mixture warm).

Add either onions (finely cut), carrot (grated) or coconut before preparing.

Hints

If freezing, only ferment for about an hour. The mixture will have to be left out for a while before being ready to use.
