Method:
- For tikkis: Mix everything for the tikkis with adding water slowly.
- Make it a thick batter so that you can make tikkis out of it.
- It should be hard enough so that you can pat it in your hand and make small flat tikkis of size of a rupee coin.
- Keep it covered for about half an hour while you work on the gravy.
- For Gravy:
- Bring 6-7 cups of water to boil in a big heavy bottom pan on high flame.
- Add oil and Guwar to it.
- After it is boiled for 5 minutes, add all the spices.
- Once it starts boiling again, add small tikkis to the boiling water.
- If you add the tikkis to the cold water it will break.
- After all the tikkis are added, cook it covered on medium to low flame for 30-40 minutes.
- Add water, the gravy starts to become very dry and thick. You can eat it all by itself (of course with the help of a spoon) or with a roti. Traditionally you add raw groundnut oil to it (Yum!). Alternatively, you can add long beans ( choli ) or papadi in place of Guwar.
