Instructions
- in a bowl, take 1 cup all-purpose flour/maida, 3 tbsp corn starch and ¼ tsp salt.
- with a wired whisk or a spoon mix the dry ingredients.
- add 1.25 cups water.
- whisk well to a get smooth and slightly thin consistency of the batter without any lumps.
- the batter should be of a flowing consistency. depending on the quality of flour, you can add less or more water.
- now on a low flame, heat a non-stick pan. the pan should just become slightly hot and not too hot. you can also use a cast iron or steel pan. but make sure they are seasoned. with a paper tissue or a small piece of kitchen towel dipped in oil, grease the pan. for the non-stick pan you can skip oil. but if you feel the wrappers are sticking then grease or brush the pan with oil.
- now lift the pan above the stove top burner. add 2 tbsp. of the batter in the pan.
- gently, spread the spoon clockwise to make a small thin pancake. similar to the way we make dosa. add 1 to 2 tbsp. more water if the batter becomes thick while preparing the wrappers.
- do remember that the pancakes have to be thin. if they become thick, then they break while rolling and sealing.
- now on a low flame cook the pancake till the sides start curling up and the pancake becomes kind of translucent.
- the pancake just need to be cooked. no need to flip and cook the other side. just cook one side.
- lift the pancake with a spatula.
