Method:

1, Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add finely chopped onion and greenchillies. Once the onions become slightly brown, add the veggies.

2. Saute the vegetables until they start cooking , leaving out the moisture. Add a little salt about 1/2 tsp for veggies to cook faster. As the veggies cook, add hing, red chilly powder, garam masala. this recipe is a little spicy, to make it interesting for my family. The Chilli powder could be cut down to 1/2 tsp for all who like it less spicy.

3. Once the dry spices get incorporated well and veggies are cooked, add the ragi flour and coriander leaves.

4. Just mix the flour well with the vegetables and take it off flame into a wide vessel.

5. At this stage add the coconut oil to the flour mixture. this will give a great flavour to the dish.

6. Heat about 250 gms of water and bring to a rolling boil.

7. Add the boiling water carefully to the flour mixture. please add little by little. do not add all at once. mix well with a spatula. the flour should form into a sticky ball of dough.
