Ingredients

  • cut the onions lengthwise and finely chop the beans and keep in a bowl
  • to this add corn( i have used the tinned corn which is little sweet)
  • add the turmeric ,hing, chilli powder, garam masala and salt and mix well
  • to this add the besan and rice flour and mix well such that the veggies are coated uniformly
