      1 c  Mixed lentils; any kind
    1/4 c  Urad dal or black gram
      1 ts Fenugreek seeds
    1/4 ts Asafoetida

  Soak rice in 2 cups of water. Soak mixed lentils, black gram, and
  fenugreek seeds in another 2 cups of water. Both should soak for at
  least 6 hours, or overnight. In the morning, wash, drain, and grind
  the rice and dals separately in a blender, then mix together. Batter
  should drop ibn lumps onto the skillet, as for uttapams.
  
  To this batter, add the asafoetida, pepper, chopped greens, and salt,
  and mix well. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet and coat the bottom with
  a little oil. Fill a large ladloe with the batter and spread it on
  the skillet to form a pancake 1/4" thick and 6" in diameter. Sprinkle
  a few drops of oil on top. Let it cook for about 2 minutes on the
  side. When it is firm, deftly turn it over and cook the other side.
  The color should be golden brown when done. Serve hot with Coconut
  Chutney.
