Ingredients

Method

  1. Before cooking, add mustard seeds and curry leaves to the batter during preparation.
  2. Soak rice and urad dal separately in 2 cups water for 4 hours. Drain thoroughly.
  3. Grind soaked rice and urad dal with cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric, salt, and 1/2 cup water into a smooth batter. Add asafoetida if using.
  4. Let the batter rest and ferment for 8-12 hours at room temperature until slightly frothy.
  5. Heat a non-stick griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter and spread thinly in a circular motion. Cook 2-3 minutes until edges lift and turn golden. Flip and cook 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. In a separate pan, cook diced potatoes with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and spices until tender. Add garam masala and mix well.
