• Soak yeast in a little water for 5 minutes.
• Now, grind soaked rice, rava, grated coconut, sugar.
• After the whole mixture is ground to a fine paste, add the yeast and once again grind the whole thing.
• Then remove the mixture to a vessel and keep it for 10 hours to ferment.
• Add salt.
• Pour a big spoon of the mixture on a hot tava and quickly twist the vessel once so that you get a thin layer in the side and a thick portion in the middle.
