Ingredients:
• 2 cups – sprouted Ragi
• 3/4 cup – parboiled Rice (also called idli Rice)
• 3/4 cup – Rice (medium grained)
• 1/2 cup – whole black gram lentils
• 1/2 tsp – Fenugreek seeds (methi)
• Salt to taste
Method:
- Soak black lentils and fenugreek seeds together in some water. Soak both the rice together in another bowl.
- After soaking them for 3-4 hours, grind the rice first in your wet grinder or processor.
- Pour it out in a large bowl.
- Next, in the same processor/grinder, add the black split lentil + seeds and grind it until fluffy and velvety smooth.
- Now pour this batter along with the rice batter. Add salt and mix well until blended well.
- Set aside to ferment overnight. Mix it well once again.
- Heat an iron skillet (low heat) or non-stick skillet.
- Add a little vegetable oil.
- Cut half of an onion and rub the cut side down on the skillet.
- It helps to stop the batter from sticking to the skillet.
- Once greased, drop a ladleful of batter on the skillet.
- Using the bottom of the ladle, in a circular motion, spread it around.
- You can make it thick or thin.
- The thicker crepes are soft while the thinner ones are crisp.
- Increase the heat and cook until you find that the ends of the crepes curling up. Or if you try removing it, it comes easily from the skillet.
- Turn it over. It should be a golden-reddish-brown in colour.
- Grease it with the onion again before starting the next crepe or simply drizzle some oil if don’t want to use onion.
- Fold it and serve these crepes hot and fresh with sambar or any chutney you like.
