Ingredients

• 1 cup Gram flour (besan)
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Oil (vegetable or olive)
• 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 medium Green chili, finely chopped
• 1 inch Ginger, grated
• 2 medium Tomatoes, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the gram flour with 1 cup of water, whisking well to ensure there are no lumps. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add asafoetida and cumin seeds, allowing them to sizzle and become aromatic.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped green chili and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder, stirring well to combine with the oil and spices.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomatoes, cooking until they soften and start to break down, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the gram flour mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, until the mixture thickens and the raw taste of gram flour disappears.

Step 7

Stir in the remaining 1 cup of water gradually to achieve the desired curry consistency. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Finish with lemon juice and freshly chopped coriander leaves, stirring well. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, but keep it low sodium.

Step 9

Serve the besan ki sabji hot with rice or flatbread of your choice.
