    I had seen this recipe many times and think it is very popular too. Never tried this way since I make it with south Indian flavors mostly. But I know it would turn out really good as we too cook almost with similar spices for puri in gravy form.

    Reader friends in Singapore, since Saraswati pooja coming up, you might find offer in Pushcart.sg very useful. Click here to download their app and order now.

    Meanwhile bit busy with Navarathri, golu hopping and lots of cooking. Here is my this year's simple  Navarathri golu 🙂

    📖 Variations

    • You can add red chilli or red chilli flakes, in place of green chilli.
    • Add amchoor powder instead of lemon juice.
    • Sprinkle generous asafoetida for a nice flavor.

    📝 My notes

    If it is done in the right way, it's the most tastiest. But many have wrong assumption about this combo due to their bad experience in restaurant or tried themselves because of poor balance of spice.

    Trust me, sometimes simple is best. Also this is tastes really good with loads of flavor. Do try it out.

    Make sure you do not skimp on oil. You can also add asafoetida if you are okay to consume in Navratri days.

      Turmeric is mentioned in the directions to be added but not mentioned in the list of ingredients. How much should be used?
