Ingredients
Besan flour/ Kadala mavu - 1 cup
Curd - 1/2 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Green chilli - 2
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Sugar - 1 tsp
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Eno fruit salt - 1 & 1/2 tsp
Salt - As needed (1 tsp)
Turmeric powder - 1small pinch
Coriander leaves - 2 tblsp
Coconut,grated - 2-3 tblsp

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

Method
Grind ginger and green chilli with little water*(refer notes). Take besan in a bowl, add the ground ginger green chilli, water, curd, lemon juice, turmeric, sugar and salt to it.
( When you grind with water, use it from the 1/2 cup water that I have mentioned in the ingredients. Do not use excess water.)
Mix well and keep aside. Take a wide flat bottomed vessel, (you can use the cooker container) grease it generously with oil. Mix the eno salt to the besan mixture, at the time you are going to steam. Make sure to mix well.
(If you don’t have eno fruit salt you can replace it with 1/2 tsp cooking soda.)

Steam this mixture for 10-12 minutes. I steamed in the pressure cooker,without the pressure valve. Insert a knife to check if its done. It should come out clean. Keep for 5 minutes to cool down and then invert to a plate. Cut into desired shape.( I cut them into squares.)

Temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table and spread it over the pieces and garnish with coriander leaves,grated coconut.
