• Soak rice and quinoa together. Soak urad dal separately for 4 to 6 hours.
• Now drain them. Take urad dal in a blender and add little water at a time and puree till smooth and fluffy.
• Pour that in a bowl.
• Take rice and quinoa in the same blender and puree till smooth. Now pour it in the same bowl. Add salt and mix well.
