To a large bowl, add rice flour, grated coconut, small onions, ginger, green chilies, curry leaves, egg and salt. Combine well.
Gradually add water and combine well using a fork till a slightly thick batter has formed. Don't make it too thick nor too watery. I've added almost 1 cup water to get the right consistency.
Place the paniyaram pan, this pan has cavities over medium heat. Let turn hot.
Add 1 tsp oil to each cavity, let turn hot.
Pour 1 tbsp of batter onto each cavity.
Cook for a few minutes.
Using a fork or skewer flip it over to the other side and cook till golden in color.
Note: to get the round shape: you should flip it over when the center is slightly watery, if the center has cooked well the base will be flat.
Transfer to a plate.
Enjoy these savoury mutta surka while it's warm along with chai.
Turn this into a complete meal, enjoy with chicken, mutton or beef curries, delish!
Notes
You can roast the rice flour taken in a non-stick pan over stove top till the flour turns aromatic and starts to turn light golden in color. Or spread the flour on a baking sheet and place it into an oven pre heated to lowest temperature and bake for 15 minutes.
