• Take 1 tbsp of the batter and spread it on the wrong side of the leaf then cover it with right side of other leaf .
• Keep stacking the leaves then start rolling tightly.( if you want you can tie with a string but if the batter is really thick you don't need to tie, the batter will help it stick together.)
• Steam the roll for around 20 mins.
• Let it cool slightly before slicing the roll (slice the roll into 1/2 inch thick slices).
