Khola Sapori Pitha

Khola Sapori Pitha is a traditional Assamese pancake prepared out of rice-flour. It pairs well with dry subzis such as aloo ki subzi.

Ingredients

2 cups:	Rice-flour (The flour can be prepared at home with any local variety of rice or ready-made rice-flour available in the market can also be used)
1 medium:	Onion; chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons:	Oil (mustard or refined)

Salt, as per taste

Water as required

Keep 2 cups of rice soaked in a large bowl of water for 4 to 5 hours.
Drain the water and spread the wet rice on a newspaper or a dry cloth and let it dry.
When the rice is dry, add it to a grinder and prepare a fine powder.
Remove the flour from the grinder and sieve it to get an even finer flour.

Alternatively, ready-made rice flour available in the market can also be used.

Pour the rice-flour in a large bowl and add water, salt and chopped onions (optional) to it.
Add as much water required to prepare a runny batter.

Heat oil in a wide non-stick pan (an iron kadhai can also be used). Tilt the pan to spread the oil evenly on the pan.
Spread the batter delicately on the pan to form a thin circular disk. If you are using an iron kadhai tilt and rotate the kadhai in such a manner that the runny batter is evenly spread in the shape of a circular disc. Keep the flame on medium.
After a minute, flip the Pitha carefully on to the other side using a turner spatula. Wait (for half a minute) till the Pitha is done
Repeat, till the batter runs out.

Nowadays, novel ingredients such as grated carrots, beans etc. are also sometimes added to the Khola Sapori Pitha to make it more wholesome.
