Besan ki sabzi / Chickpea flour Curry / Kadala Maavu Curry

This is a quick, simple and tasty sidedish my mother in law prepares often. It tastes good with roti as well as with rice or khichdi

Ingredients:

• Chick pea flour / Kadala maavu / Besan - 1/2 cup
• Chopped Onion - 1
• Chopped Tomato- 1
• Chopped Green chilies
• Curry leaves (optional)
• Tempering - oil, mustard and cumin seeds, hing
• Turmeric powder
• Chili powder
• Coriander powder
• Salt to taste
• Water
• Chopped Coriander leaves

Instructions:

• Heat oil in a kadai and add the tempering ingredients
• After a minute add chopped onion, curry leaves, green chilies and ginger garlic paste (optional)
• Saute for few minutes and add chopped tomatoes and the masala powders along with salt
• Mix well and 1 cup of water 
• When the water is about to boil add the besan and mix in a way that there should be few lumps and also the besan mixes with the water to form thick gravy
• This process only takes few minutes in medium flame
• Once the raw smell subsides and the gravy thickens turn off the heat
• Garnish with coriander eaves and serve hot with roti or rice
