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).
