Kothamir Wadi

This is one of my favorite snacks. A very popular dish in Maharshtra.

 Method

1. Chop 2 bunches of coriander leaves
2. In a mixing bowl, take 1 cup of Besan (Gram flour), ¼ cup wheat flour, 2 tbsp rice flour and mix
3. Add 2 green chillies finely chopped, 1tbsp Ginger and garlic paste
4. Add ½ cup of jiggery, 1 tbsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, juice of 1 lemon
5. Add a generous pinch of asafoetida, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp garam masala powder and salt to taste
6. Add 1 pinch of cooking soda and coriander. Add enough water to give it a paste like consistency. Adjust the salt and sweetness.
7. Take a steel plate (around 1/2 inch in depth) and coat it with oil. Pour the above mixture to form a ½ inch layer. If you have more batter make a second batch. Sprinkle white till seeds on top
8. Steam for 20-25 mins in a steamer.
9. The wadis are done when a fork stuck to the batter comes out clean.
10. Remove the wadis from plate and cut them into squares. You can serve this dish just like this as its healthier this way.
11. You can also shallow fry with a little oil on tawa or deep fry in oil to crispy brown and serve.
