Wash and soak rice, dal, seeds together for 6-7 hours. Grind to a smooth batter, add salt and keep overnight. Keep batter thick as coconut milk will be added. Grind or scrape coconut, soak in 2 cups warm water for 15 minutes. Blend in a mixie, strain and extract thick milk. Mix soda and coconut milk into batter. Apply a little oil on a non-stick or heavy griddle. Pour a ladleful of batter on hot griddle. Hold handle and rotate and tilt griddle quickly such that its full base is covered with batter. Do not spread with spoon. A thin dosa like pancake must be the result. Stack or eat immediately with chutney, curds, gravy vegetables or pickles.

Shelf life: Refrigerate batter for 2 days.
