Cooking Steps
Drain the soaked rice and grind it to a fine paste using a blender or wet grinder, adding water as needed.
In a large pot, add 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil.
Add fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, and salt to the boiling water.
Add the rice paste to the boiling water and stir well.
Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and starts to boil.
Cover the pot with a lid and let it cool down to room temperature.
Once the mixture has cooled down, transfer it to a glass or ceramic container and cover it with a lid.
Leave the container in a warm and dry place for 8-10 hours to ferment.
After fermentation, the mixture will have a sour taste and a slightly thick texture.
Garnish with curry leaves and chopped coriander leaves and serve chilled.
