method
1. Grind the green chillies and ginger with a little water to a smooth paste.
2. Mix the buttermilk, gram flour, and water together. Add turmeric powder, salt, and chilli-ginger paste. Mix to make a smooth batter.
3. Cook the batter in a pan on medium heat till a thick paste-like consistency is obtained. Remove the pan from the heat.
4. Grease the reverse side of 2 stainless steel flat plates and spread the mixture as thinly as possible.
5. While it is still warm, make 1 inch wide strips with a sharp knife on the spread mixture. When cool, gently roll each strip to resemble small swiss rolls. Arrange the rolls on a serving platter.
6. For the tempering, heat the oil in a pan; add mustard seeds, and when they start spluttering add dry red chillies and asafoetida. Saute for a few seconds, remove from heat and pour over the prepared rolls.
7. Garnish with coconut and green coriander; serve either hot or cold.
