For besan pieces you need:
1 cup besan (gram flour)
1 cup water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to preference, more if you like it hot less if you don't)
1 tsp garlic powder
Step 1: In medium mixing bowl add all of the ingredients together. Make sure the mix is runny, it should be a bit thinner than pancake batter.
Step 2: Using a 1/2 cup sized scoop, one scoop of mix onto a heated griddle pan.
Step 3: Allow to cook about 5 minutes or so, until it gets slightly brown.
Step 4: Flip with spatula. Take the edge and fold over to middle. Take the other edge and fold over in middle. You should have what looks kind of like a flattened burrito. The cooked part will be in the middle.
Step 5: Allow to cook 5 minutes or so, until slightly brown. Flip and cook the other side as well.
Step 6: Remove from pan and set aside on plate. Place one 1/2 cup sized scoop mix onto griddle and cook the same way. Continue until all of the mix is prepared.
For the Curry Sauce you need:
1/4 cup oil
1-2 tsp of 5 spice mix
1/2 tbl coriander powder
1/2 tbl mustard powder
1/4 tbl red chili powder ( adjust to heat preference)
1/2 tbl garlic powder
1/2 tbl turmeric powder
1 large tomato, chopped
3 cups water
!! Lesson learned the hard way: Have the spices and the chopped tomato ready because the first two steps go fast and the spice mix will burn!!
Step 1: Add oil and 5 spice mix in large stir-fry pan. Heat until spices start to sizzle, should take 2-3 minutes.
Step 2: Add the spice powders and tomato. Mix well and cook until mushy. This should that about 5 minutes or so.
Step 3: Add water. Cook 5-10 minutes until it starts to boil.
Step 4: Take the prepared besan pieces and cut into one inch pieces. Add to the curry sauce, mix gently, cover and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
Serve with rice.
