Step 4: Cook the pesarattu

Heat a tawa or a non-stick griddle over medium heat. Give it a light greasing with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the griddle and spread it out into a thin layer, starting from the centre and working your way to the edges. Let the pesarattu cook on low to medium heat for a few minutes. Add a few drops of oil around the edges and in the centre, and cook until it’s golden and crispy.

Flip it gently and let the other side cook for 1-2 minutes.
