1. For these pancakes I coarsely ground the lentils coz this not only makes them crispier but also adds a lovely texture to them.
2. You can soak the dal for a few hours in some hot water (I use a hot case for that) in case you forget to soak it the night before.
3. The preparation time does not include the soaking time for the dal.
