Instructions

1. 1. Soak the rice, split yellow lentils, and split chickpeas in water for 6-8 hours or overnight. Drain and grind into a smooth batter using a blender.

3. 3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and curry leaves. Allow them to splutter, then mix them into the batter.
4. 4. Stir baking soda into the batter just before cooking to create a fluffy texture.

6. 6. Cover the pan and cook on low-medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes.
7. 7. Repeat with the remaining batter to make additional handvos. Serve hot with mint chutney or yogurt on the side.
