Besan Pitla

Besan Flour Pitla is a thick , inviting accompaniment. Pitla is an easy , quick to prepare side dish that goes well with rotis / pooris . A traditional Maharashtrian recipe served along with bakhris. Got to learn this recipe from my late grandmother who used to cook this healthy Pitla and serve along with hot hot puffy pooris . #goldenapron #week15

Steps
- 1
Take 1 cup Besan flour in a bowl. Add required water gradually to the Besan flour. Mix until you get a smooth Besan paste. Whisk to a smooth paste. Shouldn’t be too tight nor runny.
- 2
Besan paste is ready. Keep aside.
- 3
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan. Add a teaspoon cumin seeds and allow to crackle. Add 3 garlic cloves finely chopped.
- 4
Add 2 green chillies. Add extra chillies if preferred. Add a sprig of curry leaves. Sauté all until garlic turns golden brown.
- 5
Add 2 medium sized onions finely chopped. Sauté until light brown. Add 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder. Mix. Add required salt. Mix.
- 6
Add the prepared Besan flour paste. Maintain a low to medium flame. Stir continuously to avoid Besan sticking to the pan. At one point, Besan starts firming. Add a glass of water/required water to adjust the consistency of a Pitla. Dip consistency preferred. Mix completely and allow to boil for 5 minutes or until rawness of the flour leaves.

Healthy, quick, Besan Pitla is ready. Serve with rotis.
