Ingredients

1	cup	rice
1/3	cup	lentils, green	(urad dal)
1/3	cup	lentils, red	(chana dal)
1/3	cup	split peas	yellow
1	teaspoon	salt
1	teaspoon	red pepper flakes
1	each	onion	optional
1	each	carrot	optional
1/4	cup	coconut	grated, optional

Directions

Mix rice, chana dal, urad dal, and yellow split peas in a large vessel. Soak in a lot of water for about 2 hours. Grind the soaked mixture with chili powder and salt coarsely, without adding much water.

Ferment for about 3 - 4 hours, then refrigerate or freeze. In cold weather, the fermenting process might take longer, and it might be a good idea to ferment in an oven (the pilot light will keep the mixture warm).

Add either onions (finely cut), carrot (grated) or coconut before preparing.

Freezing Notes: If freezing, only ferment for about an hour. The mixture will have to be left out for a while before being ready to use.

I have only one question. Please specify what is " half and half"? It is very confusing if you give a recipe that is not detailed and with no explanation.
