Steamed Rice Cake

• 3 cups rice or, 2 cups of boiled rice and 1 cup of raw rice
• 1 cup black gram de-husked, urad dal
• 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds optional
• water as required

1. I normally mix brown rice in all my rice preparation, which adds the fiber content and other benefits of wholegrain.
2. Wash the rice and urad dal and soak it for 3 hours with fenugreek seeds (methi).
3. Grind the urad dal and methi seeds for nearly 40 minutes in the grinder or about 30 minutes in a mixie by adding water as and when required.Do not make the batter too runny.
4. Grind till the urad dal is light and frothy.
5. Remove from the grinder or mixie and then grind the soaked rice for 5-10 minutes till it resembles rawa consistency.
6. Mix both the ground ingredient in a big vessel, add 1/2 tsp of salt, cover it and keep it aside in a warmer place to let it ferment for nearly 15-20 hours.
