Steps

1

Soak the rice for about 4 hours.
2

Grind together the soaked rice, milk & grated coconut with a little water to make a smooth paste. Add baking powder & let it ferment in a warm place.,(the consistency of the batter should be watery).
3

Add salt & sugar- note we do not add salt in the previous stage because it would demote the fermentation process.
4

Check for the consistency,if the batter is too thick then add water little by little.
5

Preheat the kadai/frypan with 1/2tsp ghee.

After the kadai is heated scoop a ladle full of the mixture & pour in the centre.
