How to cook it

Step 1: Grind soaked rice with coconut and 1 cup water very smooth.
Step 2: Thin with remaining water to a milk-like batter; add salt (no fermentation).
Step 3: Heat a seasoned tawa; smear oil; pour a ladle from the edge in a circle so it fills lacy.
Step 4: Cover 1 minute; fold into quarters without flipping; serve with coconut chutney.
