To make the base, grind 1 cup of Sama rice and 1/4 cup of Sabudana coarsely in a mixer jar to a granular texture like fine semolina. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl, add 1 cup of fresh curd and rock salt to taste, mix well, and let it rest so the batter can swell slightly.
The spicy and tangy green chutney is made by blending fresh coriander, 2 to 3 green chilies, 2 spoons of roasted peanuts, 1 spoon of curd, rock salt, and a little water in a mixer.
Heat a little oil or ghee in a non-stick pan, add half a teaspoon of cumin seeds and 1 teaspoon of white sesame seeds, and pour the batter into a round shape once they crackle. Cover and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden, then flip and cook for another minute.
