Soru Chakli Pithe with Sada Aloor Chorchori / Rice flour Pancakes with a simple Potato curry

Rice flour Pancakes
Ingredients: 

  • 1 cup white lentil
  • 1 cup rice
  •  2 tablespoon oil
  • Sufficient amount of water (or 2 cups)
  •  Salt as per taste

Directions: 

  • Soak white lentil and rice in water overnight. Then filter out the extra water and grind it to make a fine paste.
  • For grinding add one cup of water. This will give the batter a fine texture.
  • Keep aside the mixture for 4 to 5 hours for fermentation.
  • Add salt and water to the paste for making the batter a little thin. Make sure the batter doesn't get too watery.
  • Mix the batter well and place a pan on the stove.
  • When the pan gets heated, add 1/2 tea spoon oil and spread it all over the pan.
  • Take a small bowl of batter and spread it all over the pan in circular shape.
  • Cover with a lid. The stove should be adjusted in a medium flame.
  • After awhile uncover the lid, check the lower side of the cake.
  • Once the lower side turns brownish, flip it to other side.
  • When the pancake (pitha) is cooked well from both the sides, switch off the stove.
  • Same way prepare all the pithas (pancakes).
