- Finely chop the onion and crush the remaining ginger and garlic.
- Whisk the curd with the remaining besan and a cup of water until smooth and lump-free.
- Heat the oil in a heavy pan and add the cumin seeds to splutter.
- Add the chopped onion and saute till light golden, then add the crushed ginger-garlic and cook for a minute.
- Add turmeric powder, coriander powder and red chilli powder, stir for a few seconds, then slowly pour in the whisked curd-besan mixture, stirring continuously to avoid splitting.
- Add salt and enough water to get a flowing gravy, bring to a boil, then lower the flame and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally till the raw besan smell goes.
- Drop the fried pakoras into the simmering kadhi and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes so they soak up the gravy.
