As a variation can add 1 cup of milk OR grind coconut with fennel seeds to a fine paste. This will give a good thickness and extra taste to the gravy.


Soak 1 cup of horsegram over night and then drain water and cover with a wet cloth and allow them to sprout.

Transfer them in a pressure cooker pan and add water enough for filling them and cook for 3 - 4 whistles. Normally for the other sprouts there is no need to pressure cook, but horse gram takes longer time to cook and also the sprouts.


Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, urad dhal, cumin seeds and curry leaves. Wait until it pops out and add chopped onions. Fry till golden brown. Next add ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute. Then add chopped tomatoes and cook till they mashed and pulpy and water leaves out. Next add all the powders and mix once.

This goes well with rice and also chapathis.
