Follow step-by-step instructions

In a bowl, prepare a smooth paste by mixing besan, grated coconut, turmeric, red chili powder, ginger paste, salt, oil, and lemon juice—add a little water if needed to form a thick, spreadable batter.
Lay each colocasia leaf flat and spread about 1–2 tablespoons of the batter evenly over the surface.
Carefully roll up each leaf tightly to form a spiral roll.
Arrange the rolls in a steamer and steam for 25–30 minutes until the batter is cooked through and firm.
Let the steamed rolls cool slightly, then slice into ½-inch thick rounds.
Garnish with chopped coriander and serve as a nutritious, flavorful snack.
