Nepali Egg Chatamari is made with simply rice flour and water for the base. Just make sure the rice flour you are using is finely milled.
Key points to be noted:
The batter should be thinner than pancakes consistency. I used about 1 c flour:1 egg: 1.c water but feel free to add more water if your batter thickens up after letting it rest for a while.
Use a 6-8 ” nonstick pan and liberally grease the pan.
Close the lid and allow it to cook on low heat.
