For fulvadi bhajiya
- Firstly, I made fulvadi bhajiya with regular spices. you can also add fenugreek leaves to make it more flavourfull.
- bhajiya batter should be smooth and slight thick. Do not knead dough for it.
- Fry bhajiya on medium flame. else it will be raw from inside..
For besan kadhi
- Firstly, ensure the quality of the besan flour is good and not stale. if it is stale, it would end up forming lumps without the smooth consistency.
- Cook kadhi on medium flame for 2-3 minutes, so besan is properly cooked and chutney become slightly thick.
- The kadhi has to be served warm or immediately after it is prepared. Once it is cooked, it may turn thicker in consistency and hence add water before preheating it.
