Method

1. Recite Bismillah.
2. In a bowl mix together soji, chana flour, ginger garlic, salt, turmeric, sugar, yogurt, beaten egg & green chillies.
3. Add enough water to form a smooth batter. The batter should not be too thick & not too thin either.
4. Mix in the hot oil.
5. Leave batter aside for 3 hours.
6. In a steamer (like the one shown below) boil water. Tip: Add a splash of orange juice or vinegar to the water to prevent the pot from darkening.
7. Once the water has boiled add eno to the batter & mix. Pour into a round greased pan / deep plate that fits into the steamer. Sprinkle sesame seeds & coconut. Steam for 15 mins. You need to work quickly at this stage.
8. In a small pan prepare the wagaar by adding oil, mustard seeds & green chillies. Fry until mustard seeds start to splutter.
9. Add water to the wagaar & then pour over the khaman.
10. Garnish with coriander, cut into pieces & serve with green chutney. Enjoy!
