Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients together until well incorporated and there are no lumps. Taste and add more salt or chillies to taste.
2. Place the mixture in a oiled metal tray. Then add some water to a pan (which has a tight lid) and place an upside down saucer or a rack inside the pan. Place the tray inside the pan on the saucer or rack. Make sure the water comes to just below the bottom of the tray. Close the lid tight and steam on medium to low heat for 20-25 minutes. Check after 15 minutes.

  1. I totally missed eating this delicious snack made specially by Foodie Hajra Batan (aka Mum!) herself, so I decided to give it a go.
    The recipe is very easy to follow, even for beginners like me.
    I put the batter in a small cake tin, and steamed it in an electric steamer.
