- Further add salt, red chilli flakes, black pepper powder, cumin seeds, fresh coriander and salt. Mix till everything is well combined. The batter should have a medium consistency, it shouldn’t be very thick nor thin.
- Now let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- If the batter has become thick then add little water. Now add the fruit salt along with a tablespoon of water and gently mix it again. This will make the roasties very soft and fluffy.

- Cover it with a lid and cook from both slides for 3-4 minutes or till it gets a crispy texture and golden brown colour.
