Method
Mix all ingredients (except oil) till smooth. Knead into pliable dough. Shape into 2" round thick flat patties (grease hands if it sticks). Grease griddle with a little oil, heat. Place patties, allow cooking on low flame till golden. Flip and cook other side, drizzling more oil if required. Serve hot with green chutney or peanut curd chutney.
