It is one of the quickest side dish one can make that goes well with Chapathi or bread..Lakshmi (my maid servant) taught me the recipe that I will share with you today.. it could be done without onions as well (another Pune recipe)
Sukha Besan
2 onions finely chopped
2 cloves garlic
2-3 green chillies (depends on how hot you want)
salt to taste
Cilantro (Coriander) leaves (bunch)
cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Besan (Chick pea flour) - 2 cups
6 tbsp refined oil
Grind the garlic, chillies, cilantro, cumin and salt together in a blender.
Saute the onion until golden brown in oil, add the ground chilli/garlic to the onion and let it cook for 5 min. Add 2 cups of water and let the whole mix come to a boil.
Once it comes to boil, add the besan (chick pea flour) into the pan and keep mixing vigorously so there are no clumps formed. The more oil you add to the recipe, the drier and less sticky the dish will be. Put a lid on and let it cook in low heat for 5 min, with intermittent stirring.
Ready to serve with hot Chapathi (Indian flat bread)..
Chapathis are flat bread made with whole wheat and are easy to make. You knead the wheat into dough with water, little oil and salt, set aside for few hours. Take a small ball of dough (1/2 of tennis ball), flatten the dough into thin bread and cook it like pancakes with butter/oil on sides. You can see the below link for demo on who to make it step by step.
