  • Open the lid and add the besan mix to the pan.
  • Mix well, let this boil in a medium flame.
  • The gravy will start thickening now. Check for salt.
  • We need a semi-thick gravy consistency.

Notes

1. Do not add besan more than the quantity mentioned. It will spoil the taste.
2. This poori masala goes well with Idli and Dosai too.
