Besan Fry (chanagapindi fry)

This is another of my mom's recipes. It goes well with sambar, rasam or dal and rice
Besan - 2 cups
2 medium sized onions sliced into thin long slices
turmeric - 1/2tsp
cumin powder - 1tsp
correander powder - 1tsp
red chilli powder - 1tsp
ginger garlic paste - 1tbsp
salt
cumin seeds - 1tsp
mustard seeds - 1tsp
Make a medium thick consistency batter with besan, water, turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, ginger garlic paste and salt. Keep it aside.
Heat oil in a pan. Add jeera and mustard seeds. When they start spluttering add onions and fry until golden brown. Slowly add the besan mixture and stir well. Keep stirring until the besan gets cooked and all the liquid is absorbed. When the mixture becomes dry and starts browning a little bit, turn off the stove. Serve hot and enjoy.
This tastes like pakoda...but without using lot of oil.
