Re: KaRhi recipe
Chips, I took the liberty of copy pasting your recipe here. Thanks so much.
ok i have a tested one....turns out great.....
for the gravy=
3 tbsp besan
1 cup yogurt
blend these 2 together,pour in a pan and let it cook/simmer for a few hours.
add spices to it as follows=
salt(acc to taste)
red chillie powder(as to taste)
a pinch of haldi(if u like it )
3 or 4 whole green chillies
1 tsp coriander powder
for the pakoras=
make the mix by mixing besan with
salt
red chillies,
zeera
,1/4 th tsp anar daana powder(if u like it),
sookha dhania(whole),
fresh cilantro,
chopped up green chillies,
finely chopped onion(2 medium sized)
a pinch of baking soda/or half tsp of baking powder(whatever u have)
then fry the pakoras and put them aside.in themeanwhile the gravy must have been ready(i usualy let it cook for about 3 hours....if u think it is thick ,use some milk/water to thin it out)
tarka
heat oil in a pan and fry some onion in it.when golden ,add garlic,zeera,crushed red chillies to it and pour it sizzling hot over the cooked gravy.
put the pakoras in it,cover the pan.let it sit for some while so that the pakoras get a little gravy in them......
serve.....
i,ve made it always like this....turns out really good....but i dont know actual measurements of the spices etc....as i always use estimates ......
enjoy..!!

Re: KaRhi recipe
Haha they both sound good. Let's see what I make tomorrow!
Chips, how much water do you add to the besan and yoghurt mix?
I've never measured it...but I'll say it should be about 3-4 glasses...
it cooks for a while so it reduces to half....
