Besnache Ghavan

Besnache Ghavan

Food Blogging Marathon from 2/9/2013 to 30/9/2013. Each day a new alphabet. 4 categories. 

Today it is B for "Besnache Ghavan"

This is my second regional recipe. A snack that can be made in no time and is very forgiving. It is quick snack made any time of the day. To make it very elaborate put it between two slices of bread with butter and chutney and with a cheese slice and make toasted sandwiches. Absolutely yummy and filling.

Besanache Ghavan

Ingredients:

1 cup besan
1/4 cup rice flour or rawa/sooji/semolina
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped tomato
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
1 tblsp finely chopped garlic
1 tblsp finely chopped green chillies
1 tblsp oil
salt to taste




Method:

Mix everything together in a big bowl and add water to make a fairly thin batter. Keep aside for 15 to 20 minutes.

Now smear a non stick or dosa tawa with a little oil and heat it till very hot. Pour slowly a laddle full or 1/2 a cup of batter in continuous circular movement to make a round and thin ghavan. 




Or pour a 1/2 a cup of batter all at once and tilt the tawa to spread the batter all over the tawa to get a thin ghavan. Put a little oil at the edges of it at let it cook on medium high flame for 3 to 4 minutes or till the edges are lifted easily. 










Carefully flip over the other side and cook for further 2 minutes. 














Serve hot with any type of chutney/tomato ketchup.



This is also know as Tomato Omlette in Udipi Restautants in Mumbai.
