1

Wash and soak urad dal for 1 hour.
2

Drain this and grind it to a smooth paste adding a few tablespoons of water if required.
3

Transfer it to a large bowl. Beat and combine the batter with your hand for 5 minutes.

Add the chopped onions, ginger, green chilies, pepper corns, curry leaves, rice flour, baking soda and salt to the batter in the bowl.
