Ms Jyotsna Kewadkar, a good friend of mine from Maharashtra, shares this simple pitla recipe with us......
PITLA
Ingredients -
Method of preparation -
Mix water with besan till you get a consistency which is thinner than bhajia batter. Add salt to the batter. In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds. After they splutter, add garlic, green chillies, curry leaves, onion, haldi and hing. Roast for a bit. Add the batter, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Once the batter comes to a boil, simmer the flame and let it cook for 5 minutes. Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot with bhakri or rice.
Note - if you use an iron kadai the flavors come out better. You can add a little ghee or butter while eating.
