Step 1
Soak the 1 cup rice in 2 cups water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain the soaking water and rinse the rice.
Step 2
Blend the drained rice with 1 cup fresh water until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. The batter should be thin, like heavy cream. Stir in the 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the center and quickly spread it outward in a circular motion to make a thin crepe.
Step 4
Drizzle 1 tsp oil around the edges. Cook until the top looks set and the edges start to lift, about 1-2 minutes. No need to flip; the crepe is done when the bottom is lightly golden.
Step 5
Fold the crepe in half and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stirring occasionally. Serve warm with chutney or curry.
Step 6
If the batter thickens while resting, add a splash of water to keep it pourable.
