Recipe
1
Heat a tablespoon of mustard oil in a pan and lightly fry the tilauri until golden brown; remove and set aside.
2
In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, gram flour, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and two cups of water until smooth.
3
In the same pan, heat the remaining mustard oil and crackle the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and asafoetida.
4
Add the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chillies, sautéing for a minute until the raw aroma disappears.
5
Pour the yogurt-besan mixture into the pan, stirring continuously on medium heat to prevent curdling until it comes to a gentle boil.
6
Add the fried tilauri to the simmering gravy, cover, and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes until the fritters soften.
7
Check for salt, garnish with fresh coriander leaves, and serve hot with steamed rice.
