Hot & tangy jhunka/pitla (Quick & easy)

A very simplistic and easy to make recipe. I usually make this when I am running out of groceries :p

Ingredients:
1 cup of besan (chickpeas flour)
4 tbsp oil for seasoning
soak lemon sized tamarind in 1 and 1/2 cup of water for at least 15 mins.
1 medium sized onion, sliced lengthwise
3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
3-4 curry leaves
2 tbsp red chili powder, or according to taste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste


Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan and splutter mustard and cumin seeds
2. Add curry leaves, garlic and onion and fry until onion is translucent
3. Squeeze the soaked tamarind pulp and throw away the pulp.Use all the water used for soaking to make the tamarind paste/juice.
4. Add red chili powder to the oil and stir to prevent it from burning
5. Add the tamarind juice, turmeric powder and salt to the seasoning
6. When the mixture comes to a boil, turn the flame to low and add besan slowly, stirring continuously with other hand. Stir thoroughly until the besan is mixed without any dry remains
7. Cover the pan and cook on low flame, stirring occasionally for 7-8 minutes

Serve hot with rotis.
