Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the semolina, rice flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and 2 1/2 cups water until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be very thin and pourable — thinner than pancake batter, closer to the consistency of heavy cream. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes so the semolina hydrates fully.

After resting, stir in the chopped onion, green chilies, ginger, cumin seeds, cilantro, and black pepper. If the batter has thickened as the semolina absorbs water, whisk in additional water, a few tablespoons at a time, until it returns to a thin, pourable consistency. The batter should flow freely off the ladle.
