We have made a quick and healthy version of the lip-smacking rajasthani snack by dressing up protein and iron rich besan and methi leaves in enticing, tangy flavours. All the fibre makes this a good choice for diabetics too.

Main Ingredients

For The Garnish

For Serving

    1/4 cup healthy green chutney

Method

  1. Combine the besan, fenugreek leaves, buttermilk, turmeric powder, chilli powder, ginger, green chilli paste, salt and ½ cup of water in a bowl and mix well to make a batter of pouring consistency.
  2. Grease a thali with ¼ tsp of oil and keep aside.
  3. Heat 1 tsp of oil in a broad non- stick pan, add the batter and cook on a slow flame, while stirring continuously, till it leaves the sides of the pan.
  4. Pour the mixture immediately into the greased thali and tilt the thali clockwise to form a uniform layer. Keep aside for 15 to 20 minutes and cut into equal-sized diamond shaped pieces.
  5. Heat the remaining ½ tsp of oil in a small non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds.
  6. When the seeds crackle, add the sesame seeds and asafoetida and sauté on a medium flame for 30 seconds.
  7. Pour the tempering over the pithore pieces.
  8. Serve immediately garnished with coriander.

The taste was quite good but the batter was not cooked evenly. Even when I spread it out on thali, it was almost semi solid and not easy to spread evenly throughout the thali. Where could I have gone wrong? Can I steam it like dhokla instead of cooking in in a pan?

Hi, you can take a smaller thali to set it. Might be your thali too big make sure you cook it till it is thick and not till it forms a lump once it starts to leave the sides, immediately transfer on a greased plate. If you are going to steam, it will become like a dhokla.
