  5. This recipe is all right for a quick fix. But the tastier version calls for some planning and preparation. Soak rice (we use half glass of raw rice and half boiled rice) for about 3 hours, grind using a mixer grinder, add salt and allow it to ferment for 2 days. Then follow all the above steps. No curd is required as the batter is already fermented and sour. This is really yummy!
