Steps

In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, salt, turmeric powder, and chili powder. Gradually add water, mixing until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the chopped vegetables and onions. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thick pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Once cooked, garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
