Directions

MAKING
To prepare the batter:
3. In a bowl, take chick pea flour (besan), semolina, citric acid, turmeric powder, salt and sugar. Blend all these dry ingredients together.

8. Meanwhile for the tempering, heat a small pan with oil, add mustard seeds, asafoetida, sesame seeds and green chilies. Take it off the heat.
9. Once the khaman is done, take the tray out of the steamer and pour the tempering over the surface and cut into pieces.

SERVING
