To make corn panki, combine all the ingredients along with 2 tablespoons of water in a deep bowl and mix well. This should be a relatively smooth flowing batter. Apply a little oil on one side of each banana leaf and keep aside. Now place about two table spoons of the batter on one half of the greased side on a banana leaf and spread it evenly and thinly. Place another greased banana leaf with the greased side facing downwards over it and press it lightly. Cook on a non-stick pan for two to three minutes each side till the leaves brown a bit. Serve with the leaf and then take off the leaf exposing
