Soak the poha separately

Soak the udad dal and methi seeds together.

After 5 hours grind the udad dal and methi to a smooth batter.Dont add too much water while grinding.Keep aside.Next grind the rice , also to a smooth batter.Adding little water to enable easy grinding.

At the last stage of finishing grinding the rice, add the poha , grind well now and the batter will become thick at this stage.
