Recipe
1
Drain the soaked horse gram and grind a portion of it into a smooth paste while keeping the rest slightly coarse.
2
Heat mustard oil in an iron kadhai until it smokes slightly, then let it cool marginally before adding cumin seeds.
3
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chilies, sautéing until fragrant.
4
Add the ground lentil paste and whole wheat flour, continuously stirring on medium heat for about 5 minutes to roast.
5
Pour in 3 cups of water gradually, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps from forming.
6
Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt.
7
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes until the gravy thickens.
8
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve piping hot alongside freshly pressed mandua rotis.
