ladleful (approximately 120 ml ) of the batter into it. Spread evenly by
circular rotations using the base of the ladle, starting from the centre and
progressing outwards. Close with a lid.
Allow to cook for about 30 seconds (until top portion done

light golden color. Carefully remove it with flat spatula. Repeat the process
with the remaining batter. Serve hot with chutney/ sambar / spicy vegetable curry / korma / gashi / prawns / chicken curry.
