Recipe
1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together besan, water, lemon juice, ginger-green chili paste, turmeric, sugar, and salt to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
2
Stir in 1 tablespoon of oil, then gently fold in the eno fruit salt until the batter becomes frothy and light.
3
Pour the batter immediately into a greased steamer pan and steam on medium-high heat for about 15 to 18 minutes until fully cooked.
4
Remove from the steamer, let it cool slightly, and crumble the khaman loosely into a bowl.
5
In a separate tempering pan, heat the remaining oil and crackle the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves, and green chilies.
6
Pour a little water into the tempering to create a fragrant syrup, then drizzle this tempering evenly over the crumbled khaman.
7
Garnish generously with fine sev and freshly chopped coriander leaves.
8
Serve warm alongside crunchy gathiya and a hot cup of masala tea.
