  2. 2

    Drain the water. Grind the rice with cold/ice water into a very smooth batter. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Grind the lentils into a slightly coarse batter and add them to the rice batter. Mix both batters well. The consistency should be slightly thick, like regular idly batter. Cover and ferment for 8 hours or overnight.

  3. 3

    Once fermented, add water, salt, soy chunk powder, and hung curd. Mix into a loose, watery batter.
