1 c. Rice
1/3 c. Urad dal
1/3 c. Chana dal
1/3 c. Yellow split peas
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Red chili pwdr
1 lrg Onion (opt)

Directions

1

Mix rice, chana dal, urad dal, and yellow split peas in a large vessel.

Soak in a lot of water for about 2 hrs.
3

Grind the soaked mix with chili pwdr and salt coarsely, without adding much water.
4

Ferment for about 3 - 4 hrs, then chill or possibly freeze.

In cool 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 mix hot).
6

Add in either onions (finely cut), carrot (grated) or possibly coconut before preparing.
