Cook this batter in a non-stick pan on a low flame by continuously stirring till it becomes thick and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
To test if the batter is cooked, spread a tsp. of it on a greased steel plate. After a few seconds when it cools down, try to roll it. If this is done easily, it means the batter is perfect.
Take off the flame and immediately spread on 3-4 greased steel plates. Let it cool down and then cut them into strips. Peel them and roll them very carefully. Set aside on a serving dish.
Heat oil in a pan and temper with the mustard seeds. After it stops spluttering, add the sesame seeds and curry leaves and saute till the sesame seeds changes colour.
