Ingredients



Channa Dal(Split Chick Pea) - 1/2 Cup

Urad Dal(Whole or Split either is fine) - Handful

Yellow Mung Bean - Handful

Method



1) Wash rinse and soak channa dal, toor dal, urad dal and yellow mung bean overnight.



2) Drain the water from the soaked lentils and in a food processor add these lentils, curry leaves, salt, ginger piece, coconut and add water and process into a smooth paste.



3) To this add the chopped fenugreek leaves and cilantro and add more water if desired. The consistency of the batter should be that of pancake or slightly thinner(for a crispier pancake) but  not too watery.

4) Heat a iron griddle and once it is hot take a ladle full of batter and make a circle and pour 1 tsp of oil around it.

5) Cook on medium heat and once it is well cooked, flip it and cook the other side.
