Methi Besan Recipe, How to make Methi Besan

Methi besan is one of my favourite and I love the simplicity of this recipe. It is easy and taste delicious. When you are out of time and need to make something really quick, this can be your choice. It is made with minimal ingredients available in your pantry.

Serves: 2-3

Time: 15 min

Ingredients:

• ½ cup Besan/gram flour
• 1 cup Methi/fenugreek leaves
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 tsp, green chili, finely chopped
• 1 tsp or less red chili powder
• ¼ tsp turmeric powder/haldi
• 1 tsp coriander powder/dhaniya powder
• ¼ tsp mustard seeds/rai
• ¼ tsp cumin seeds/jeera
• ¼ tsp garam masala
• ½ tsp salt or as per taste
• 2 tbsp. oil
• 1½ cup water

Direction:

1. Take besan in bowl and make a lump free batter by adding little water at a time. This will make a very thin batter.
2. Now clean and rinse the methi leaves in running water 3-4 times.
3. Drain and keep it aside. Chop it roughly.
4. Now take oil in a pan. Once oil is hot add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them splutter. Now reduce the flame to low. Add finely chopped green chili, grated ginger and chopped methi leaves.
   
5.  Stir and cook just for a minute. Add the masala- red chili powder, turmeric powder, dhaniya powder and salt. Mix well.
   
6. Pour in the gram flour batter into the pan and stir.
   
7.  Keep stirring continuously, so as to avoid lump formation. The gram will take atleast 5-7 minute to cook. The gram flour batter will be look thick. Keep stirring uniformly until few oil droplets appear on side.
   
8. Finally add garam masala and mix. Turn off the heat.
