Step-3: Later drain the water very well and keep the dals aside. you can add the dals directly also, but soaking them and then adding gives a good taste to the coconut rice.
Step-4: Grate half of a medium to large coconut and keep aside. you should be able to get about 1.5 cups tightly packed grated coconut.
Cooking rice
Step-5: After 30 minutes, drain the water and pressure cook the rice with 1.75 to 2 cups water for 2 whistles.
Step-6: When the pressure settles down on its own, open the lid and fluffs the rice. For a softer texture in the rice, pressure cook for 3 whistles.

Step-5: Once done with the kneading, dust fingers pinch and take big lemon sized dough. Again knead the dough using palms and make a soft flat ball.
Step-6: Dust the flour and roll the flat balls into thin rotis.
Step -7: Heat the tava or pan and transfer the rolled rotti or roti over the hot pan. Apply water on the roti using a clean and wet cloth. be gentle and quick.
