Soak rice  for 2-3 hours & grind with tender coconut to fine paste. Keep the batter to dosa batter consistency. Add salt, sugar & yeast & keep for abt 3-5 hours(depending on your climatic conditions) for fermentation. 

Fermented batter

Aftr fermenting please keep the batter in fridge if you are not using immediately. (In this case don't add sugar & salt).

Step 3:

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional
