November 27, 2013 at 7:28 pmHi, I have a question, does the besan get cooked/roasted in 2-3 minutes? Because normally besan takes some time to get cooked in any dish.

November 19, 2013 at 11:50 amThough I am from Andhra, had no idea this was a traditional recipe from there! Actually UP and Gujarat also has variations of this same dish I think. I have always loved the combination of these flavours… delicious!
