Instructions

  1. Step 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. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 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. Step 5

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

  6. Step 6

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

  7. Step 7

    Serve hot with chutney or yogurt.
