Instructions

To make filling:
Boil the milk with crushed green cardamom in a kadhai till it becomes half of its quantity.
Add khowa along with sugar and stir continuously.
When it turns into semi liquid state, turn off the gas. Allow mixture/ filling to cool at room temperature.
To make batter:
Mix all dry ingredients of batter and gradually add milk and then water as your requirement. Keep mixing with your clean hand to make a smooth lump-free batter which is neither too thick nor too thin in consistency.
For frying:
Heat non-stick tawa/pan and apply little oil by brushing/a piece of eggplant to grease it.
Pour 1 scoop of batter on the hot pan and spread the mix on the pan till it takes a circular shape or oval shape on a low heat.
Put about 1 table spoon of semi liquid kheer on the over the spread.
Roll the spread like a normal roll after 10-15 second.
Keep the roll on the pan and flip every 5-10 seconds till it turns brownish.
Fry the remaining balance in the same way. Serve it at room temperature or cool (But if you wish, you can also serve it hot).
