5. Shape each portion into a round patty.
6. Arrange the rolls on a greased steaming plate and steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
7. Remove, and allow it to cool slightly .

For the tempering, 

1. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tsp of oil in a non-stick pan and add the mustard seeds and let the seeds crackle.
2. Add the steamed patties and sauté on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes or till they turn light brown in colour and crisp from both sides.
3. Garnish with coriander or parsley and serve it hot with the chutneys of your choice. ( I prefer Coriander-mint chutney and the tamarind-date chutney). It tastes yum even with the tomato Ketch-up.
