indian, pancakes
1 cup rice
1/3 cup urad dal
1/3 cup chana dal
1/3 cup yellow split peas
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon red chili powder
1 large onion (opt)
1 carrot (opt)
1/4 cup coconut, grated (opt)
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 chili 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. - Freezing Notes: If - Freezing, only ferment for about an hour. The mixture will have to be left out for a while before being ready to use.
