Preparation Method:-

Step 1- First, one day before rinse both the lentils a couple of times. Then soak both the lentil in a separate bowl under sufficient water overnight.


Step 2- Next day, discard excess water from soaked lentils. Transfer both the soaked lentils; into a grinder jar. Add ginger, green chilies, and make a smooth batter. If required, then you can add 1-2tbsp of water(or adjust as desired). The consistency of the batter should have been like pancake batter.
