Mix rice, chana dal, urad dal, and
yellow split peas in a large vessel. Soak in a lot of water for about 2 hours.
Grind the soaked mixture with chilli
powder and salt coarsely, without adding much water.
Ferment for about 3 - 4 hours, then
refrigerate or freeze. In cold weather, the fermenting process might take
longer, and it might be a good idea to ferment in an oven (the pilot light will
keep the mixture warm).
Add either onion (finely cut), carrot
(grated) or coconut before preparing.
Freezing
Notes: If freezing,
only ferment for about an hour. The mixture will have to be left out for a
while before being ready to use.
