Then add 1/4 tsp Ajwain. Then add 2cups besan to it and keep stirring, so that besan is mixed well in water and turn off the stove immediately. Make this a hard paste. Need not cook this paste further as it might burn. Then take a plate and grease it with oil and add this paste to it and spread this paste on it with hand.

Boil this juice with salt, turmeric, Chilli powder, Dhaniya powder, Zeera powder, coconut powder and little garam masala powder as per taste. Make sure to add besan cubes only when this tamarind juice is completely boiled, then let this be on stove for 5more minutes so that besan cubes are also cooked in tamarind juice. Meanwhile add chopped coriander leaves. This dish is ready to serve and to be eaten with rice !!
