Ingredients :

Besan / Chickpea flour - 1 cup
Curd - 1/2 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Green chillies - 2
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Sugar - 1tsp
Eno fruit salt - 1 tsp (as needed)
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Turmeric  - small pinch
Corriander leaves - 2 tbsp
Coconut grated - 2-3 tbsp

To temper :

Oil - 1tsp
Mustard - 3/4 tsp
Asafoetida - 1/8 tsp                            

Method :

Grind together green chillies and ginger with little water (Use water mentioned in Ingredients section. Do not add extra water).

In a bowl add besan, curd, water, green chilli+ginger paste, sugar, salt, lemon juice and turmeric and mix well. Keep this mixture aside for 10-15 mins.

Take a flat bottomed vessel and grease it generously with oil.

Mix eno salt to the mixture at the time you are going to steam. Make sure to mix well.

Steam this mixture for 10-12 mins. I used pressure cooker to steam this mixture without pressure valve. Insert knife to check if it's done. It should come out clean. Keep for 5 mins to cool and invert it on a plate and cut into desired shape.

Temper with the items under "To temper" and spread it over the pieces. Garnish with coconut and corriander leaves.



P.S : If eno fruit salt is not there add 1/2 tsp cooking soda to the mixture.
