Ingredients
- 1 cup Besan (chickpea flour)
- 2 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 10 pieces Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (coriander leaves) chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the besan with 1 cup of water, stirring to form a smooth, lump-free batter. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the hot oil and let them crackle for about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add the chopped green chilies and curry leaves. Sauté for another minute, allowing their flavors to infuse the oil.
Step 5
Pour in the besan batter gradually, stirring continuously to avoid any lumps.
Step 6
Once the batter starts thickening, add the remaining 1 cup of water slowly while stirring to achieve a thick but flowing consistency.
Step 7
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Step 8
Continue to cook the batter on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the besan is fully cooked. This should take around 10-15 minutes and the mixture should turn into a thick, glossy paste.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and add chopped cilantro, mixing well.
Step 10
Serve the Low Carb Besan Ki Sabji hot with a side of low-carb bread or as part of your favorite meal.
