3. Add the green chillies, cumin seeds, coconut, cashewnuts and salt and mix well.
4. Add more water as required and mix well to a thin batter
5. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and sprinkle a little water on it. It should steam immediately.
6. Grease it lightly with oil and wipe hard with a slice of onion or potato.
