• Put in the chopped onions and chilli paste and saute it for a minute.
• Next add chopped tomatoes.
• Mix well and saute for a few minutes.
• Next add very little water, cover the lid and cook till onions and tomatoes become very soft.

• Then add required quantity of water, salt and let it boil.
• While the water is boiling, add curry leaves and chopped coriander leaves.
• Reduce the heat and start putting in the besan little by little as the Jhunaka thickens.
• When it's still in a little liquid consistency add the besan mixed water slowly and keep mixing it well.
• Adjust the water and/or the besan to a consistency so that the Jhunaka thickens to your liking.
• Keep stirring as you cook for five minutes on low heat.
• Garnish with chopped coriander and serve with piping hot rice and ghee.
• It tastes just amazing.

Jhunaka tastes very well with Jowar rotis and chapati also.
