5. Once it is grinded completely, transfer it to a big container.
6. Then grind the rice after washing it properly. It has to be grinded not like a paste, but little coarse.
7. After the rice is grinded, transfer it to the same container in which we have kept the urad and methi mixture.
8. Put salt in the batter and mix thoroughly. The batter should not be too thick or too watery.
