Soak rice and split pigeon peas in water for 4-6 hours.

Drain the soaked ingredients and transfer to a blender.

Add chickpea flour, onion, green chilies, ginger, curry leaves, and black pepper to the blender.

Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to achieve a pourable batter.

Transfer the batter to a bowl and let it ferment for 1-2 hours at room temperature.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with oil.

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread into a circle.

Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is golden, about 3-4 minutes.

Flip and cook the other side until golden, about 2-3 minutes more.

Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
