      Excellent! I did have to play with the frying. Do make sure to heat the pan first then a good amount of ghee then place the the batter. Very similar to potato pancakes with a kick. I did let ferment overnight. I`m learning to like curry leaves. But doing it slowly 1 leaf at a time. Thank you made for Lively Lemon Lovelies of ZWT #8 . Namaste
