Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and smells nutty, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add sliced onion and cook, stirring often, until edges brown and char, 5–6 minutes. Scrape onto a plate.
Step 3
Pour 0.5 cup batter into the center of the skillet and spread in a thin circular motion until the crepe is lacy and edges are translucent.
Step 4
Drizzle 0.75 tbsp ghee around the edges, then scatter mustard seeds, curry leaves, and a pinch of red chili powder on top.
Step 5
Cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes, then flip carefully and cook the other side for 1 minute until light brown.
Step 6
Slide onto a plate, top with roasted onions and cilantro, then repeat with remaining batter and ghee. Serve hot.
