Method
Step 1 - Wash and soak all the ingredients mentioned above for 6 to 8 hours.
Step 2 - grind it into a smooth paste(grind rice and urad dal separately) and mix it well.The consistency should be little thick unlike dosa batter.Keep it in a dark or warm place for fermentation(During winter preheat the oven for 10 minutes and switch it off.Now place the batter in it).It takes at least 8 to 10 hours for fermentation.
