Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 cup water (or as needed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green chilies
  • 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • Oil for cooking

Instructions

Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, mix rice flour, salt, turmeric powder, and enough water to make a smooth batter. The consistency should be slightly thick but pourable.

Add Flavorings

Stir in cumin seeds, mustard seeds, chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and coriander leaves. Mix well.

Heat the Pan

Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with oil.

Cook the Chatamari

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot skillet and spread it into a thin, even layer using the back of the ladle or a spatula.

Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. You can cover the pan with a lid to help it cook more evenly.

Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.

Serve

Remove the Chatamari from the pan and place it on a serving plate.

Enjoy your meal!
