2. Mix together gram flour, yogurt, water, turmeric powder, asafoetida and salt make a smooth batter.
3. Heat one teaspoon oil in a non-stick pan on a low heat.
4. Pour gram flour batter to pan, stir constantly so that lumps do not form.
5. Keep stirring till the batter becomes thick, about 10-12 minutes.
