9. Make a hole in the centre, break an egg into it and add half the quantity of milk.
10. Beat it well for 5 minutes.
11. Let it stand for 30 minutes. Add remaining quantity of milk and beat it again before using it.
12. In a medium-sized frying pan, heat fat or oil until it becomes hot.
13. Pour some batter that coats the bottom of the pan thinly. Cook till it becomes golden brown in colour.

15. Take it on a kitchen paper and keep it warm.
To cook the rice:
