Where to buy?

You can buy spices at the department store, grocery and Indian shop. You can also buy rice flour, meat masala or curry powder on Amazon and eBay.

Recipe Notes

• Use non-stick pan rather than the normal pan.
• A batter might be thick after few minutes so keep stirring from time to time and add more water if needed.
• Instead of meat masala, you can use garam masala or curry powder.
• You can also make plain Charamati that looks like a crepe with a pinch of salt or sugar.
• For Vegetarians, you can use a variety of vegetables depending upon your choice instead of meat. If you can not obtain rice flour from the shop, you can grind the normal rice to create your own rice flour.
