Grind urad dal and salt together adding very little water,into a coarse paste.It would be better if you don’t add water at all.But if you think,your grinder won’t coperate, just add necessary water little by little.Now add shallots,ginger,curry leaves,pepper and baking soda into the ground paste and mix them together.
Pat your hands with water and make a ball with the paste.Flatten it and make a hole in the center like a doughnut.Wet your hands with water,when ever needed.
