Instructions
-
Prepare the Chillies: Start by removing the seeds from the green chillies, then slit each chilli down the middle and cut them in half for easier cooking.
-
Heat the Oil: In a wok or kadai, heat enough sunflower oil to cover the base. Once the oil is hot, add the asafoetida and let it sizzle for about 5 to 10 seconds.
-
Cook the Chillies: Add the prepared green chillies to the hot oil and sauté them until they become soft and tender.
-
Mix the Besan: While the chillies are cooking, take a bowl and combine the gram flour (besan), enough water to form a thick batter, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, and lemon juice. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth.
-
Combine and Cook: Once the chillies are soft, pour the besan mixture over them in the wok. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the besan is cooked through and no longer raw, about 10-15 minutes.
-
Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
