Surprisingly not many people know about this recipe or dont make it often in south indian families.. However I grew up on this and LOVE it a lot!
Ingrediants (for 6-8 people):
1 medium onion cut in length
1 chopped tomato
1/2 tbsp minced ginger
1/2 tbsp minced garlic
4 fresh green chillies
3/4 tbsp turmeric powder
1 cup besan (gram flour)
handful of chopped coriander for garnish
Chonk/Popu : 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp dry mustard seeds, 2 tsb urad dal, 4 curry leaves
Preparation:
Heat some oil in a pan.
Add the chonk ingrediants and let splatter
Add the onions, green chillies, ginger, garlic and stir until onions turn golden brown
Add tomatoes, cover with a lid and let cook till its a paste
Add turmeric powder and some red chilli powder if you need some more spice
Add 3 cups of water and set it to boil for approx. 10 minutes on medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, make a fine smooth paste of besan in 1/2 cup of water. Make sure there are no lumps big or small.
Add the besan paste to the boiling contents and stir.
cook for 5 minutes and set aside.
