  2. Step 2

    Add finely chopped onion, green chilli, minced garlic, and sesame seeds to the dry mixture.

  3. Step 3

    Gradually add curd and water to the mixture, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter. Ensure the batter is of pouring consistency.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat the process for the remaining batter. Serve hot with chutney or curd.
