Experience the authentic taste of Attu, a classic Indian preparation with rich, layered flavors. This traditional dish is perfect for family meals and brings regional Indian culinary heritage to your table.
In a large bowl, soak urad dal in enough water for at least 4 hours, then drain.
Blend soaked urad dal with 1 cup water into a smooth batter. Mix with rice flour, remaining water, and salt for a pourable consistency.
Fold in chopped onion, cilantro, green chili, and cumin seeds, mixing evenly into the batter.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high and brush with a little ghee or oil. Once hot, pour a ladleful of batter in the center, gently spreading into a thin round shape.
Cook on medium heat until the edges lift and surface sets, then drizzle more ghee or oil around edges. Flip carefully and cook for 1–2 minutes until golden and crisp.
Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat between batches for even browning. Serve hot attu immediately, optionally with chutney or sambar.
