Notes
Gram Flour can be replaced with Kala Chana Flour/Sattu in the recipe. It is more nutritious fibre rich flour suitable for diabetic people.
The ratio of the flours depends on the one's choice. I usually take more of chickpea flour and less of wheat. My ratio of besan to whole wheat flour is 1:1.
You can also add any other winter greens like spinach or dry fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) when fresh fenugreek leaves are not available. Or, skip fenugreek leaves if these are not available at your place.
You can also add grated ginger and minced garlic or ginger garlic paste.
