• Wash and trim the stems off of the leaves. Remove a thin layer off the central rib of the leaves to make them more pliable for rolling.
• Place a leaf with the lighter green side up and apply the gram flour paste evenly.  Place 4 - 5 leaves, applying paste in a similar way.  Fold the leaves together from all the 4 sides and form a roll.  




• Steam these rolls for about 12 - 15 minutes.
