Steps

30 mins

1

Soak 1 cup of Chana dal overnight & make a coarse paste of it by adding green chiili, garlic & ginger. Add very little water.
2

Add some onion, coriander leaves, garam masala powder, salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder & ajawain, baking soda and mix everything well. You can add any other spices of your choice.
3

Now boil water in your steamer/heavy bottom pan, grease a plate or tray with little oil, pour the batter over it and steam it on a low to medium flame for about 15-18 mins or until it is perfectly steamed. You can also use your idli maker/stand to steam these.
4

Allow it to cool down and cut it into small pieces. You can also serve this as it is without any tadka, with any chutney or sauce.
5

For the tadka, heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds & seaseme seeds allow them to splutter, add curry leaves & hing, saute it for few seconds, add the pieces of Bafauri, gently mix it for few seconds, add some lemon and it's done.
