Chatamari

Method

1. Put the rice flour and salt in a bowl and whisk in the water a little at a time until you have a smooth, thin batter with no lumps, slightly thicker than milk. Leave it to rest for 20 min so the flour absorbs the water; the crepes will hold together better.

2. Heat a little of the oil in a 20 cm frying pan over medium-high heat, add the finely chopped garlic and ginger and stir for 30 seconds, then add the mince, cumin, turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Cook for 6 min, breaking the meat into small crumbs with your spoon, until no pink remains and it starts to brown. Tip into a bowl.

3. Finely chop the onion, deseed and finely dice the tomato, and finely chop the chillies and coriander. Beat the eggs in a small bowl.

4. Put a 20 cm non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 2 min to heat up, then brush it with a thin film of the remaining oil. Brush with a little oil before each crepe.

5. Stir the batter (the flour settles), pour a ladleful (about 80 ml) into the centre of the pan and quickly tilt the pan so it spreads into a thin round. Cook for 1 min 30 sec, until the edges look set and the surface turns matte with tiny holes. Spoon a little beaten egg over and spread it with the back of the spoon, then scatter over some of the meat, onion, tomato and chilli. Turn down to medium-low heat, cover with a lid and cook for 4 min, until the egg is completely set and the underside is golden and crisp. Repeat with the rest; you will make 4 in total.
