INGREDIENTS:

1 cup rice 	

1/3 cup urad dal, green lentils 	

1/3 cup chana dal, red lentils 	

1/3 cup yellow split peas 	

1 teaspoon salt 	

1 teaspoon red chili powder 	

1 eachonion, optional 	

1 each carrot, optional 	

1/4 cup coconut, grated, optional

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix rice, chana dal, urad dal, and yellow split peas
in a large vessel. Soak in a lot of water for about 2
hours. Grind the soaked mixture with chili powder and
salt coarsely, without adding much water.

2. Ferment for about 3 - 4 hours, then refrigerate or
freeze. In cold weather, the fermenting process might
take longer, and it might be a good idea to ferment in
an oven (the pilot light will keep the mixture warm).

3. Add either onions (finely cut), carrot (grated) or
coconut before preparing.

Freezing Notes:

If freezing, only ferment for about an
hour. The mixture will have to be left out for a while
before being ready to use.
