Now add tamarind water and you will get this smooth fine thick consistency.

Pat dry the colocassia leaves using a cotton or muslin cloth. Place the light green side of leaf facing upside. Now spread this besan mixture evenly using fingers.

Now place second leaf similarly and repeat steps till the fifth leaf. On top again spread besan mixture evenly

Now fold the leaves from both sides and start rolling up from bottom to top and again cover it with besan mixture.

Place both the rolls on the steamer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes. You need to coat the steamer with oil so the rolls doesn't stick to the surface.
