Chatamari wo bhutiwala–Plain Rice Crepes with a black eyed beans.
In classical Newari, “chatam bhajan,” meaning “quick food,” is the name of the flat frying pan. Chatamari may be named after the pan, though it takes time to prepare. In Newari spiritual context, chatamari represents the full moon. This particular bread is a must-have during ritual ceremonies such as Degu puja, Sithi Nakha, Guthi puja, Dishi puja, and especially during the Pahchare Chariot Festival in Ason in Kathmandu. In the Newar community in Ason tole, people welcome spring by throwing chatamari from their roof tops. Upon consecrating a new temple, a bucket-full of chatamari is thrown from the top of the temple to celebrate.
Preparation:
Rice batter or dough is prepared by mixing rice flour with water. Rice does not contain gluten. Adding hot water results in a softer batter, and it dries out quickly and holds shape. When making the batter,
consistency and texture will vary depending on the type of rice used and on how finely ground it is. Most families use short-grain rice (Tai-chine jaki) which is soaked overnight, drained, and then ground in a stone grinder or in a blender. Some people use hulled urad dal mixed with rice flour to make the batter.
There are a couple of benefits to adding urad dal; it acts as a binder and also forms a full protein with the rice.
