1/2 lb or 1 cup Uradhall flour
1 lb or 2 cups white rice flour
3 cups water or as needed
salt to taste
1 teasp baking soda
a pinch of saffron

Method

Mix all ingredients and cover and keep aside for at least one hour.
The batter should not be too thick. Almost like a pancake consistency.
(add water as needed)

OPTIONAL:
Saute a chopped onoin, curry leaves, chopped green chilli and a few
fenugreek seeds.

Mix the above to the batter. Heat a griddle until very hot.
Apply a LITTLE oil with a pastry brush.Pour about 1/4 cup of the
batter onto the griddle and spread it around with the back of a
spoon. Flip over and cook the other side. Always wipe griddle
with oil before each thosai. The prepared thosais could be kept
in a 250C oven covered.

Serve with your favorite meat or fish curry and chutney.
