Method
Grease the backs of 2 large steel plates, or a clean kitchen counter, with 1 tsp oil.
In a bowl, whisk the besan, buttermilk, ginger green chilli paste, turmeric powder, salt and a pinch of asafoetida until smooth with no lumps.
Pour into a heavy non-stick pan. Cook on medium-low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring all the time, until it turns thick, smooth and glossy. To test, spread a little on a plate and wait 1 minute: if it rolls up easily, it is done.
Working fast, spread the hot batter very thin over the greased plates with a flat spatula. Leave it to set for 5 minutes.
Cut into 2-inch wide strips. Roll each strip up tightly from one end and place the rolls on a serving plate.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add sesame seeds, curry leaves, green chilli and a pinch of asafoetida. Fry for 1 minute and pour over the rolls.
Sprinkle the grated coconut and coriander leaves. Serve at room temperature.
