The ingredients for South India Lentil Pancakes are:

1 C dried mixed lentils (red, brown, green, etc.)
2 C dry brown rice
1/2 t salt (optional)
4 Tbls Canola oil
3 jalepeno peppers

Here is how you make South India Lentil Pancakes:

The night before, wash and rinse the lentils thoroughly. When the rinse water runs clear, soak the lentils and rice together in a bowl with fresh water overnight. The next day, drain and grind into a semi-coarse paste in a blender adding jalepeno peppers to be chopped in the blender, and water as needed.. Put the batter into a bowl, add salt, (and whatever spices you desire) cover and let sit a few hours. This can be blended in the morning and will be ready to cook for dinner. For a sourdough flavor, let it ferment overnight. Drop a ladleful of the batter in the center of a non-stick pan that is hot enough to make a drop of water dance. Push down in the center with a large spoon to make a thin, round pancake. When the top looks dry, wait 20-40 seconds more, turn and cook the other side. Serve immediately with a chutney (I like mint chutney here) The batter can be refrigerated for about a week. Add additional ingredients for variety. Try any combination of finely chopped onions, spinach, ginger, cumin seeds, garlic, curry powder, cinnamon or other favorite spices. ( I add ground cumin, tumeric, and garam masala).Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KDSTAP.
