Yes, you can soak the grains overnight. After grinding, you can either ferment it for 2-4 hours and use it right away, or you can store the unfermented batter in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Let it come to room temperature and ferment for a couple of hours before making the polos.
This usually happens for two reasons: the tawa is not hot enough, or the batter is too thin. Ensure your tawa is properly heated before pouring the batter, and check that your batter has a thick, pourable consistency, not a watery one.
