Servings: persons

1.5 cups Whole wheat flour , coarse flour if possible, you can sub chickpea flour + 2 tbsp of semolina or millet flour + semolina/corn meal
1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons Plain yogurt or you can also use buttermilk
1 cup Grated radish (Daikon) and chopped leaves
2 teaspoons Oil
2 to 3 teaspoons Green chilli and Ginger paste
2 Cloves of garlic
1 to 2 teaspoons Sugar
2 tablespoons Oil for sauteeing
1 to 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
Pinch Asafoetida
1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
2 Curry leaves, fresh or dry

1
Take flour, turmeric powder, sugar and salt and mix it well. Now add the wet ingredients plain yogurt, oil, garlic, chilli , ginger paste, and finally the radish and mix it all well into the flour mixture.
2
Add a little water if you feel it is too dry, because it is like in between a dough and batter in consistency. your hands should be a little messy or wet when you roll them. That is how they should be. Remember, daikon would also release water.
3
Immediately, roll them with the help of your palms in oblong shape like a log. And, grease the steamer , if you are using bamboo steamer then line them on a greased parchment paper.
4
Heat some water in the steamer and then place these logs side by side. I use pressure cooker to steam these , but you can steam them your way.Let them steam on high flame for about 15 minutes.
5
Once they are steamed, remove them from the steamer and you can serve them steamed with some green chutney on side along with tea. I am a little tea bias, but I am sure coffee is also fine.
6
And, if you do not want to serve them steamed , but rather saute them then cut the logs into disc shaped (check out the pic) heat some oil in shallow pan, once the oil is hot add the mustard seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves and finally sesame seeds, and immediately add the steamed ones into it. Let them get browned or some roast marks and cook them evenly for about 5 to 7 minutes.
7
Just when they are done remove them on a serving plate. They are really good for brunch or breakfast or even as side dish.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
