Green chilli- ginger paste 1 tsp
Turmeric powder ¼ tsp
Asafoetida
Salt to taste
Mustard seeds 1 tsp
White sesame seeds 1tsp
Red chillies 2
Curry leaves

1. Whisk the yogurt with a cup of water.
2. Add the besan, green chilli-ginger paste, a pinch of asafoetida, salt and turmeric powder. Mix well to get a smooth consistency without lumps.
3. Transfer this to a kadai, cook this on a low heat sitrring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook till the batter becomes a little thick.
4. On a non-stick griddle (tava), pour out the batter and spread the batter out like one spreads icing on a cake. Make the layer thin.
5. Cook this on a low flame till the batter changes colour and obtains a kind of transparent look (which means the besan is cooked.)
6. Cool it. Cut into thin strips and roll the cooked batter up like a toilet roll
7. Make this with all the batter.
8. Season this with the mustard seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida and red chillies.

Tip(s)
Garnish with grated coconut, chopped cilantro and squeeze some lime juice.
