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

    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.
