- Rinse the urad dal under running water. Then soak the dal in enough water (2-3 cups) for around 5 to 6 hours. Add 1 teaspoon methi seeds to the dal while it's soaking.
- Rinse the rice under running water until water turns clear. Then soak the rice in enough water for around 5 to 6 hours, same time as the dal. - After 5 to 6 hours have passed, drain the water from the dal. Transfer the dal to the blender (or any grinder that you use).

- If using Instant Pot for fermentation, now press the Yogurt button. Increase the time to 12-14 hours. The time will depend on where you leave. Here it takes around 12-14 hours for the batter to ferment.
- If not using an Instant Pot, cover the container and place in an oven with lights on (especially if you leave in a cold place). If you leave in a very warm place, then simply keep the batter on the counter to ferment.
- After 14 hours, my batter was well fermented. It had increased in volume and was frothy and bubbly.
