Ingredients

• 100 grams Urad Dal (split black gram)
• 100 grams Moong Dal (split green gram)
• 50 grams Chana Dal (split Bengal gram)
• 50 grams Red Masoor Dal (split red lentils)
• 200 grams Rice
• 50 grams Quinoa
• 1 teaspoon Fenugreek Seeds
• 500 milliliters Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil or Ghee

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the urad dal, moong dal, chana dal, masoor dal, rice, and quinoa under running water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Soak the urad dal, moong dal, chana dal, masoor dal, rice, and quinoa together in 500 milliliters of water along with the fenugreek seeds for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Step 3

After soaking, drain the water and transfer the mixture into a blender.

Step 4

Add a little water and blend to form a smooth batter. Adjust the consistency with additional water as needed to achieve a pancake batter thickness.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to a large bowl, add salt, and mix well.

Step 6

Cover and let the batter ferment for 6-8 hours in a warm place. The batter should double in volume and have a slight fermented aroma.

Step 7

Once the batter is fermented, mix it gently. If it seems too thick, add a little water to reach a pancake-like consistency.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet, spreading it in a circular motion to form a thick pancake.

Step 10

Drizzle a little oil around the edges and on the top of the amboli.

Step 11

Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and slightly crispy, then flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 13

Serve the high-protein ambolis hot with coconut chutney or your favorite accompaniment.
