Bombay masala

Serves -2

I don't how this masala got this name nor how it is related to bombay. Be it any reason what  I like in this is,it is sooo easy to make.It goes well with dosa and chapathi.

Ingredients:

• Onion -1
• Tomato -1
• Ginger -1 inch piece
• Besan/ gram flour - 1 tbsp
• Turmeric powder -1/4 tsp
• Coriander leaves -1 tbsp
• Green chilli -3 to 4
• Salt -To taste

To temper:

• Oil -2 tsp
• Mustard seeds -1/2 tsp
• Urad dhal -1 tsp
• Channa dhal -1tsp
• Asafoetida -A generous pinch
• Curry leaves -A spring

Method:

• In a kadai/pan add oil and temper with items mentioned under 'to temper'.
• Now add finely chopped onion,when it turns soft add grated ginger and chopped tomato and slit green chilli.
• When tomato turns soft add one cup of water and let it boil.
• Now mix besan flour with 1/4 cup of water without any lumps.
• Add this to the boiling water and stir well so that there are no lumps.
• When masala comes to boil turn off the heat and add coriander leaves.
• Serve with dosa/chapathi/poori

Notes:

• Ginger is very important as this is the only flavouring agent.
