Chola ni Dal na Puda

i started with this recipe from Tarla Dalal (it used to be a free one when i originally found it but consequently they've secured it) but made several tweaks to it so here we go:

soak 2 cups of chola dal (black eyed peas) overnight. grind in the blender with 2 inch piece of ginger, 7-8 garlic cloves and 5-6 green chillies. add 2-3T wheat bran, 2 T flax seeds ground and 1 cup ragi (nachni) powder - its a fine powder & adds a crispness to puda/dosa. add 2 cups grated radish (can be substituted with fenugreek leaves or grated dudhi), 2T chopped cilantro & 2T chopped spring garlic or garlic chives. add salt to taste & add water if necessary to make a batter of medium consistency.

heat 1.4t oil in a non stick pan & spread the puda batter as thin as possible. flip sides when 1st side is crisp & browned evenly. serve when both sides are done.

Accompaniments - cilantro chutney, yoghurt, pickle
