Risks and precautions · Standard risk
Batter rise, bubbles, aroma, colour and texture are quality observations, not safety proof. The source does not establish measured fermentation temperature, pH or a safe storage time.
- Soak rice and urad with fenugreek separately for five to six hours.
- Grind urad with chilled water for two to three minutes until fine. Grind soaked rice in batches, adding water gradually until the paste drips from a spoon.
- Combine and mix by hand. Cover and ferment for at least ten hours with the oven light on and oven off.
- Spread fermented batter from the centre outward on a heavy iron griddle. Add oil around the edges and cook for two to three minutes until the sides release.
