• 1 cup of gram flour
• ½ litre of mustard oil
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp caraway (ajwain)
• 3-4 tbps cumin
• 1 tbsp chilli powder
• 2 tbsps turmeric powder
• 1 cup curd
• 2 dried chillies
• 2 dried curry leaves
• 2-3 tbsp coriander powder
• 1 tbsp of garam masala
• 10 peppercorns
• Salt, to taste

Directions

 Process the soak red lentils or sliced chickpeas until the consistency is smooth. Connect a teaspoon of salt and turmeric powder. Whisk enthusiastically, so that the badis become warm and soft. To check whether the drum is light enough, take a jug of water and place a drop of the drum in it. The battery is ready if it floats. Crush the caraway and throw it in.

Heat a pot of water and a kadai with mustard oil until the batter is done. Mustard oil is expect to fill at least half of the kadai, so that the badis are fully submerg in oil. When the oil has been simmered, and the flame, apply a tiny amount of batter and fry until it is soft and dark. After your badis have been fry, place them in the boiling water and cover. Switch off the sun. This is done to keep the badis soft and not develop lumps later.

As soon as the badis are in the bowl, start cooking the kadhi. Take a bowl and boil 2 teaspoons of gasoline. When dry, add cumin, onions, curry leaves and chili to make tadka. Take a gram of flour and add 3 cups of water to create a paste. Apply this paste to the Kadhi bowl. When the paste is cooking, remove the badis from the bath. Attach the soaking liquid to the qadhi and leave the badis on one leg. Stir in the kettle and put to a steady boil. Connect coriander powder, chili powder, garam masala and oil. At the front, add the badis. After the kadhi begins to boil, turn off the flame, add the curd and mix to blend.

Roast a tablespoon of cumin and peppercorn, grind and sprinkle with kadhi. Garnish with the sliced coriander seeds. Serve with some pasta.
