Grind the soaked rice with 1/2 cup water into a very fine but thick liquid
Add the gram flour, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, lemon and salt and blend for 1-2 minutes until all the ingredients are incorporated
Pour the mixture onto the sliced potatoes, add turmeric powder and coriander leaves and mix.
