Soft and Spicy Indian Rolls are a traditional Indian snack or appetizer, commonly served at parties or gatherings. Gram flour, also known as besan, is a common ingredient used in Indian cuisine, and is the main ingredient in these rolls. Gram flour is gluten-free and high in protein, making it a healthy alternative to regular wheat flour. The rolls are steamed, which makes them light and fluffy, and the addition of green chili paste and ginger-garlic paste gives them a spicy kick. This recipe is easy to make and perfect for a quick snack or as an appetizer for a party.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix together the gram flour, curds, water, green chili paste, ginger-garlic paste, and salt until smooth. Let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes.
2.In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat and add the mustard seeds. When they start spluttering, add them to the batter and mix well.
3.Preheat a steamer and grease a plate with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the plate and steam for 10-12 minutes or until cooked. Repeat with the remaining batter.
4.Cut the cooked rolls into bite-sized pieces and serve garnished with cilantro and fresh grated coconut.
