Wash and soak the rice for 6 hours.
Prepare the kappi and leave it aside to cool.
Grind soaked rice to a smooth paste by adding cold water. Coarsely grind the grated coconut, kappi, cumin seed, shallot, and garlic. Add yeast and grind for a minute.
Mix everything and keep aside for 6 – 8 hours to ferment. Then add sugar and salt, stir well. Let it ferment for another 1 hour.
Heat a pan and pour a spoonful of batter into it. The batter will spread by itself, no need to spread it. Cover and cook both sides.
Serve warm with any veg or non veg curry of your choice.
For Kappi
In a pan, add rice flour, water, and sugar, bring to boil. Stir continuously at low heat until you get a thick paste.
NOTE – I used idli rice in this recipe.
One cup = 250 ml, one tablespoon = 15 ml, one teaspoon = 5 ml.
