Direction To Make

Making Pakora

Add besan (gram flour), finely chopped onion, finely chopped green chillies, baking soda, salt, red chili powder and chaat masala and mix well. Gradually add water to it and mix well in this way make a thick batter.
Heat oil in a wo and deep fry. To test if the oil is hot enough, put a small amount of batter in it, if it comes to the surface without changing its color, it means that the oil is hot.
Take a spoonful of batter and carefully pour it in the oil to deep fry. Add 4 - 5 pakoras one by one to and fry on medium heat. Fry them till they become light brown. Remove them using a perforated spoon and transfer to a plate.
Fry all the pakoras like this. These are half fry pakoras, we have to fry them once again. If you fry them whole in one move, it will give you the raw taste of besan in between.

Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a large pan. When the ghee becomes hot, add fenugreek seeds and cumin seeds. When it starts crackling, add grated ginger to it and fry it for about 20 - 30 seconds while stirring continuously.
Add curd besan mixture and mix well. Cook it on medium flame for about 10 minutes until the raw smell of besan goes away from it, stirring occasionally.
If you find that the curry is too thick, then add 1/2 cup of water and cook it again for 3-4 minutes, so that the curry gets the pouring consistency.
