Ginger garlic paste- 1 teaspoon

Method to cook Goli Gwar Ki Phalli

In a bowl sieve the gram flour and add turmeric, salt, and chili powder

Now pour the water and with the help of your fingers knead the gram flour into the dough

Pinch out small portions of the dough and round them off into roughly 1” round balls or golis

To fry the prepared food heat oil in a Kadai or pan and when the oil gets heated gently tip in the golis and fry them till they turn a nice golden brown

Keep this fried golis aside to be added later to the beans

In order to cook the beans take a medium pan and heat the oil ( you can actually make use of the oil used for frying the golis ) and sauté the sliced onion till turn translucent

Add the turmeric, ginger garlic paste, and salt and lightly fry for another 2 minutes

Now add the beans and sauté them well until they start to change color

After the beans get well-fried add in the turmeric, salt, ginger-garlic paste, and chili powder and mix

Leave this gravy to simmer on low flame for 15-20 minutes by adding 1/2 a cup of water and covering the pan with a lid

At the end of this cooking time as the gravy is three-fourths cooked and starts to bubble, add in the fried golis prepared earlier

Allow the gravy to cook for a few minutes more on low flame till the oil separates

Switch off the flame and relish this unique dish with roti or plain rice !!
