1. Combine rice and urad dal in large glass or stainless steel bowl. Cover with 3 inches of water, and soak overnight. Drain. Transfer to blender or food processor, and purée with salt and 1 cup water until smooth. Transfer to bowl, cover with towel, and let stand six to 12 hours at room temperature, or until batter is fermented and slightly bubbly on surface. Stir in yogurt, baking soda, and 1/2 cup water.
2. Preheat oven to 200°F. Place baking sheet on center rack. Combine peas, red onion, chiles, and cilantro in bowl.
3. Lightly grease medium nonstick skillet with coconut oil or ghee. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Pour 1/2 cup batter onto skillet. (Do not spread batter out thinly.) Drizzle 1/2 tsp. oil or ghee around edge of pancake to prevent it from sticking.
4. Sprinkle 3 Tbs. pea mixture over pancake. Cook 3 minutes, or until bottom is golden. Flip carefully, and cook other side 1 minute more, or until golden. Place pancake on baking sheet vegetable-side up, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining lentil and pea mixture until you have 8 pancakes. Serve warm.

I had this for the first time this weekend, and it is my new favorite! Delish!
FYI: I cooked this on my griddle and it turned out really well. I didn't use the oil to cook it. I'm not sure if I lost out on a sweet taste without the oil or not. I would combine this with something sweet, like a piece of fruit on the side.
This was delicious!!! I loved them along with the Mixed Vegetable Kootu that appeared in the same article. Added to my favorites immediately and I can't wait to have these for lunch tomorrow.
I tried to make this dish, and the pancakes kept sticking to my griddle. It sounds delicious, but I couldn't get a pancake to come off the griddle in one piece. I had greased the griddle per the directions, too. Any suggestions?
Reg Cathys' comments dated Dec 17 2010,to prevent the pancake sticking the girdle,in the beginning after greasing the girdle
rub the surface of the girdle with a piece of onion or potato and then pour the batter to make pancake in a medium heat
the traditional uttapam does not use yogurt or baking soda. The fermentation process makes the batter fluffy.
