Heat 2 tablespoons oil on medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of Besan (gramflour) and slowly fry till it turns golden brown. Add Methi seeds (fenugreek), saute for a minute then add 1 teaspoon of chopped ginger and saute another minute.

Soak a 1 inch diameter ball of Imli (Tamarind) in warm water.


Slice the Kamal Kakri (Lotus stems) in 1/6th inch roundels and boil for for 15 minutes in salted water. Drain, cool and set aside.
