- 1 tbsp bell peppers finely chopped
- tempering
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp mustard seed
- 1/2 tsp sesame seed
- 5 to 6 curry leaves
- 1 green chili (cut into two halves(remove seeds))
- In a medium-sized pot mix chickpea flour, yogurt, ginger chili paste salt, turmeric powder, and powdered sugar. Add water in this mixture and make a smooth batter.
- Try not to get any lumps, but if you get lumps don’t worry, churn this mixture with the hand blender.
- Next, fill a pressure cooker with about a1 and half a cup of water and put a steel stand at the bottom of the pot.
- Now, place a khandvi mixture pot on the stand, cover the pressure cooker with the lid, whistle on. At high flame take 8 to 9 whistle.
