Over a recent vacation, I had puri with aloo curry which had some soothing gravy in it. The host said that it had besan in it. So next thing to try is besan and aloo curry. This dum aloo with besan recipe sounds very interesting. If I can make puri masala like this, I will recreate all the times I enjoyed it in the hostel. Theres a dry/fry version of aloo that my mom makes with boiled aloo that I dream of making, never quite get there with the boiledness of potatoes - due to microwave shortcuts.
All this besan mania happened when I was making brinjal curry which needed some time in cooking and my hunger led me to make the quick besan curry. I had tiny lumps in the curry. I asked my mom about premixing the besan in water, she thinks its not tasty that way. Besan curry was a favorite for the dinner, as it gets done in no time. My grandmom made the same curry very thick, not our favorite consistency.
I still need to find out why the bachali pappu I made last week was gooey. If I shouldnt be boiling the lentils with bachali??
