Ingredients

  • 1 cup semolina
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 1.5 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 small, finely chopped green chili
  • ¼ cup, chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup semolina, 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1.5 cups water until smooth. Let rest for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in 1 chopped green chili and 1/4 cup cilantro. The batter should be thin and pourable, like heavy cream.

  3. 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high. Lightly brush with 1 tsp oil.

  4. 4

    Pour a ladleful of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the hot skillet, spreading it in a circular motion to make a thin, lacy crepe.

  5. 5

    Drizzle 1 tsp oil around the edges. Cook until the bottom is golden and crisp, about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Flip and cook for another 1 minute until spots are golden. Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil as needed.

  7. 7

    Serve hot with chutney or yogurt.
