Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice
• 0.5 cups Urad dal (split black gram)
• 1 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Place it in a large bowl.

Step 2

Rinse the urad dal and fenugreek seeds together under cold water. Add them to the bowl with the rice.

Step 3

Cover the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds with water and let them soak for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Step 4

After soaking, drain the water and transfer the rice, dal, and fenugreek seeds to a blender.

Step 5

Add about 2 cups of water gradually while blending to form a smooth and thick batter. The consistency should be similar to that of a pancake batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into a bowl, add salt, and mix well. Cover the bowl and let the batter ferment for 8 hours in a warm place. It should rise and become slightly bubbly.

Step 7

Once the batter has fermented, stir it lightly. The batter is now ready to use.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.

Step 9

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it into a circle using the back of the ladle to make a pancake about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 10

Cook the amboli on medium heat until the edges start to lift up and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Flip the amboli carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until the other side is golden and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 13

Serve warm with coconut chutney or your favorite curry.
