Add sufficient water and make two cups of tamarind water. In a bowl put rice flour and add tamarind water, turmeric powder and salt. Stir well. Check for salt. The batter should be like Idli batter consistency. Put a non stick pan or a thick bottomed kadai on the stove. Add oil and when it is hot put mustard. When it starts crackling, add Bengal gram dhal and urad dhal and fry till it turns golden brown. Add red chilli bits and curry leaves and fry just for a second. Then add the rice batter and stir continuously till it becomes thick and leaves the vessel without sticking.Remove and serve as it is or with Coconut Thuvaiyal.
