Method

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk 1 cup Swastik Besan with Swastik Turmeric Powder, Swastik Red Chilli Powder, Swastik Cumin Powder, ajwain and salt.

  2. 2

    Add water a little at a time, whisking constantly, to get a smooth, lump-free batter that flows like dosa batter. Rest for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir the onion, tomato, green chilli, ginger and coriander into the batter.

  4. 4

    Heat a non-stick tawa on medium heat and brush it lightly with oil.

  5. 5

    Pour a ladle of batter in the centre and quickly spread it into a thin round with the back of the ladle.

  6. 6

    Drizzle ½ tsp oil around the edges and cook for 2–3 minutes until the underside is golden and the edges lift easily.

  7. 7

    Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes, pressing lightly with the spatula.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle a pinch of Swastik Chaat Masala and serve hot with green chutney, curd or ketchup. Repeat with the remaining batter.
