Stir in coriander leaves, salt, 1 tablespoon of oil, and freshly crushed black pepper.

Mix everything well and add water gradually until the batter reaches a consistency that is neither too thick nor too thin.

6

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil.

7

Spoon a few spoonfuls of the batter into the pan, evening it out with a spoon.

8

Cover the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, then uncover and fry for a few more minutes.

9

Check if the pancake is browning by lifting one side with a spatula, then flip it if ready.

10

Add another tablespoon of oil and fry the other side for a few minutes, gently pressing with the spatula for even browning.

Flip a few times for both sides to turn crispy.
