PROCESS-

For the chapatis-

1. Take rice flour, salt, jeera and coriander leaves in a parath or large plate.

2. Now add hot water and make a dough using it.

3. The dough will be like the normal wheat flour dough. Now roll the chapatis. Cook into pan for 2 mins just semi cooked.

4. Now in the coal fire cook the chapatis until crispy.

For the besan ki sabji-

1. In a mixing bowl or container, take besan and water.

2. Mix it well. Add turmeric powder, salt and red chilly powder.

3. In a kadhai add oil. Add mustard seeds, ginger and green chillies. Cook them.

4. Add both the types of onions and cook them for a while but it should not turn brown.

5. Add the besan slurry we prepared earlier.

6. Cook it for about 30-45 mins at low and medium heat.

7. The besan will start leaving the sides and will start becoming thick.

8. At the end add lemon juice and coriander leaves.

It takes a lot of time and patience to cook this besan. It requires stirring it continuously to avoid lumps. After 10 mins you can stir it occasionally in intervals.

If the besan thickens very quickly lower the heat and add 1 cup of hot water and keep stirring.

For the tamatar bharta

1. Roast tomatoes, potato, green chilly and onion in coal or direct gas flame.

2. Peel them and mash in a hotpot(कैसरोल).

3. Add ginger, salt and coriander leaves into it.

4. Now burn a piece of coal and place it in a bowl inside the hotpot. Pour mustard oil and the smoke will start coming. Close the hotpot and leave it for few minutes.

5. Sieve the oil into the bharta.
