Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Add salt, remaining ghee and knead while still hot. Add green chillies, cumin seeds and coriander leaves and continue to knead until smooth.
3. Divide into lemon sized portions and roll. Place each portion between plastic sheets and spread with your fingers into thin roundels. Place these on the greased slotted plates and fit them into the stand. Place the stand in the steamer and steam for ten to fifteen minutes on medium heat. Serve hot with thick yogurt and green chilli thetcha.
