# Grind the mixture into a thick paste.
# This batter needs to be fermented for 4-6 hours and refrigerated overnight.

# Add salt according to taste and pour the batter into a thin pancake over a hot griddle.

# Use olive oil to moisten the griddle plate and enjoy the delicious healthy breakfast.
== Variation ==
You can choose to flavor the batter with onion/ ginger/ fresh herbs as per taste. Most popular Indian breakfast items are a combination of cereals & pulses. This combination provides carbohydrates & protein; both of which are important at the start of the day. To top this, these breakfast items are fermented too. Fermentation coverts carbohydrates & sugar into beneficial acids, thereby increasing the nutritive value of these breakfast items
