Procedure[edit | edit source]

  1. Combine the batter ingredients to make a smooth batter. Mix well with a whisk to ensure there are no lumps.
  2. Heat a wok or pan over medium-low heat, and add 2–3 teaspoons of oil.
  3. Add the batter to the wok. Begin stirring the batter continuously to prevent the formation of lumps during cooking. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens almost to a dough.
  4. Spread a small amount of the mixture on a greased surface to form a thin layer. Let cool, and try rolling it up. If you can't roll it up, the mixture needs to be cooked more.
  5. When the mixture is ready, quickly spread it in a very thin layer on a greased sheet. It should be thinner than a crêpe. Let cool.
  6. Cut the cooled layer into strips, and roll the strips up.
  7. Garnish with the mustard seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves, jalapeño, and coconut.

Notes, tips, and variations[edit | edit source]

  • The spices can be adjusted according to taste.
  • If the batter mixture isn't cooked enough, it will not solidify enough to be rolled up. If it is overcooked, you will not be able to spread it very thinly, and the rolls will be thick.
