Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chickpea flour/green gram flour
- 1 cup yogurt/curd
- ½ cup chopped spinach leaves
- 1 ½ cups of water
- ½ tsp. red chilly powder
- ½ tsp. sugar
- ½ tsp. salt
- A pinch of assafoetida powder (optional)
Tempering:
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 tsp. sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp. grated coconut
- ½ tsp. lemon juice
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients (except the ingredients for tempering) in a blender and grind into a very fine paste.
- Take a thick bottom pan/non-stick vessel and pour the batter in it. Heat the batter for 10-12 minutes on slow flame stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- The batter will start leaving the sides of the vessel. Take off the flame and pour it immediately over the kitchen counter (stone/marble) or in a large flat plate.
- Spread it with a spatula in a thin sheet and leave it for 5 minutes to let it cool.
- Cut into broad strips using a knife. Roll each strip into spiral shaped rolls. Slice each roll into smaller roundels of about 2-3’ length and place them in a serving dish.
- Heat oil in a wok and crackle sesame seeds for a few seconds and add lemon juice in it. Pour this tempering over the sliced Spinach rolls and garnish with grated fresh coconut.
