Step 1 In a bowl, combine the chickpea flour and water. Whisk to get a smooth consistency.

Step 2 Add the salt, turmeric, chilli powder, carom seeds, cilantro and mix well. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.

Step 3 Heat a skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, drizzle a few drops of oil on the skillet. Spread the oil using a paper towel. Pour a ladle full (¼ to ⅓ cup) of the batter onto the skillet. Spread the batter by moving the skillet to make a 6 to 8-inch pancake. Drizzle a few drops of oil on the edges of the pancake.

Step 4 Cook until the edges start to leave the pan and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook.
