2. Dissolve the besan for kadhi first in a little water and then in the buttermilk.
3. Heat 2 tsp oil. Fry green chili in it. Add methi seeds. When they turn dark brown, add mutard and saunf. Reduce heat and add the buttermilk.
4. Add haldi and garam masala powder and cook till the raw taste of besan goes. Now heat oil for deep frying.
