Bihari Besan Ki Sabji

1 cup Beasan
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Red chillies powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 oz Tomatao sauce (half of a small can)
1 Medium Onion
Pinch of cumi seeds
1/4 cup Celantro (if available)

1. Put the Besan in a bowl. Put half tsp turmeric and half spoon of chili. Put little salt in it. Put enough water and knead the besan. It should be hard like a roti dough. If it becomes thin, add more besan.
2. Divide in four small doughs. Roll them with two hands and shape them like a hot dog. In a pan boil some water. Put the rolled besan in water and boil till it become hard. May take 10 minutes. Drain the water.
3. Cut the besan rolls in small pieces. It should look like small coins.
4. In a frying pan, heat some low fat oil, like olive or canola oil. Fry the cut pieces till they become slightly reddish. Take them out and soak them in a paper towel to get extra grease out.
5. In another pan, put two spoon of oil. Put the cumin seed, and onions. When the onions get brown, put all the remaining spices and the fried besan pieces. saute them on slow flame for about 7 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and two cups of water. Boil it for about 10 minutes.
6. You can garnish with the celantro leaves if you have them.

It is little hard to get the besan part going. It should taste very good.
