Method:

1. Mix together the soaked rice, split beans and fenugreek seeds and salt to make a smooth batter. Leave to stand for at least 12 hours until the mixture ferments and increases in volume.

2. Mix together the onion, tomato and coriander. Heat a heavy-based pan and sprinkle on a few drops of water. If it sizzles, it is ready for use. Smear a little oil on the pan and heat to smoking point.

3. Pour a ladleful of batter over the pan and spread quickly to about 15cm/6 in. Pour a teaspoonful or oil around the edges and sprinkle over the onion mixture.

4. Increase the heat and cook for 2 minutes until golden brown. Turn over and fry for 2 minutes until browned. Serve hot with chutney.
