Abu Bakr - Uttapa like snack recipe

I have no idea where this recipe got its name from; but Shanbhag’s mom said it really is called Abu Bakr. So here you go, recipe for making Abu Bakr. I think it is little bit like uttapa. You could make a meal out of it, or best for like breakfast/brunch.

Ingredients:

1 cup udid daal, white colored lentils,
water for soaking, and grinding
1 onion chopped,
1 or more green hot pepper chopped,
fresh ginger chopped,
few curry leaves, chopped,
few small pieces of fresh coconut, (we didnt have coconut and curry leaves, when we made it, but it was still great)
salt as per taste
oil for cooking

Method:
Soak the lentils for 2 hours in water. With using very little water, grind the lentils in a mixer/blender. The mixture should be little bit coarse and really thick. Add the chopped onions, peppers, ginger, curry leaves, coconut, salt to this. Put lots of oil in the frying pan, and using your hand pat the mixture gently on the pan, a thick layer. Make a circle. Put a couple tablespoons of oil on the top surface. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for sometime; the base should get crisp and golden red in color. Flip and cook till done.

Best eaten hot with coconut chutney or cream cheese (makhan).
