How to cook

Prepare the urad dal batter

Drain excess water from the urad dal. Grind the urad dal in a food processor with minimal water to form a smooth batter.
Add the salt, as well as the rest of the ingredients into a bowl. Mix well.
If the batter appears too watery in the bowl, add rice flour.
