Recipe
1
Wash and soak the rice, chana dal, and urad dal together in water for at least 4 to 5 hours.
2
Drain the soaked grains and lentils, then transfer them to a grinder.
3
Add cumin seeds, green chilies, ginger, and a little water to grind everything into a smooth, flowing batter similar to dosa consistency.
4
Pour the batter into a large bowl, mix in salt and chopped coriander leaves, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
5
Heat a traditional cast-iron griddle or flat skillet and brush it lightly with mustard oil.
6
Ladle a portion of the batter onto the center of the hot griddle and spread it in a circular motion to form a medium-thick crepe.
7
Cover with a lid and cook on medium heat until the edges turn golden and crisp, then flip to cook the other side briefly.
8
Repeat the process for the remaining batter and serve hot with comforting spiced potato aloo dum.
