  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
  • Contains: dairy, mustard

Ingredients

  • 40 g Chickpea flour (besan)
  • 60 g Yogurt, plain
  • 60 g Water
  • 0.3 g Turmeric
  • 2 g Ginger, fresh
  • 2 g Chili peppers, green, raw
  • 0.5 g Mustard seeds

Method

  1. Whisk the besan, yogurt, water, turmeric, grated ginger, chili and salt into a completely smooth, lump-free batter.
  2. Cook the batter in a pan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 8-10 minutes until it thickens into a smooth paste that no longer tastes raw.

  4. Cut into strips and roll each up tightly into a small spiral.
  5. Heat the oil, sizzle the mustard seeds, and pour over the rolls; garnish with the grated coconut and cilantro.
