There is a special way to measuring dal and rice. Normally it is measured in a ulakku, but i used a measuring cup. Measure raw rice in a cup of flatten the top of it. Now top with urad dal so it is mounted like. This is how it is measured. But i have given a easy measure like 1 cup raw rice and ¼ cup urad dal. You have soak both of it together and grind in a blender or grinder. Grinding it in a grinder is best.
