Procedure

  1. Wash and soak the rice in water (about ½ inch above the level of the rice), overnight or for at least two hours.
  2. After soaking it, drain the rice, rinse it with water, and drain it again.
  3. Grind it in a mixer-grinder along with the grated coconut, cooked rice, and ¾ cup water.
  4. Transfer the batter to a bowl or vessel. Rinse the mixer jar with around 2 tbsp of water and add this too to the batter. Mix in the salt and sugar.
  5. Let the batter rest for 1 to 2 hours.
  6. Thin the batter by adding around ¼ cup water to it.
  7. Heat a non-stick man with the heat on medium-high. When it’s hot enough, drizzle a few drops of oil on it and spread the oil over it with a paper towel.
  8. Pour a little less than ½ cup of the batter on the pan and tilt the pan slightly to spread the batter to a diameter of around 8 inches. After bubbles start appearing all over the batter, cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let the crepe cook for around 1 ½ minutes.
  9. Take off the lid from the pan, and let the crepe cook for another 30 secs or so to let it cook thoroughly. Remove it to a plate. Let it cool for around a minute and then fold it once to form a semicircle or twice to form a quarter circle.
  10. The polle can be eaten just as they are or with a chutney of your choice, vegetables or meat curries.

Enjoy!
