5. Transfer the batter to the pan and keep it in the pressure cooker.
6. Pressure cook like how we do Idlies in medium heat for 15 minutes.
7. Turn off the heat and transfer it to a wire rack.
8. Heat oil in the seasoning pan and add mustard seeds followed by the sesame seeds and green chillies.
9. Turn off the heat and add the grated coconut.
10. Garnish with coriander leaves.
11. Cut them to desired shapes.
12. Serve it with coriander/mint chutney and sweet chutney

Note:

• Adding green chilli coriander paste is totally optional. Since I have added it, the color is greenish yellow.
• Adding turmeric is also optional.
