Cilantro Wadi

Ingredients:

Chopped cilantro leaves - 1 cup chopped
Besan flour - 1.5 cup
Rice flour - 2-3 tsp
Green chilies - 2-3 finely chopped
Grated ginger - 1/2 tsp
Chili powder - 1/2 tsp (or to your taste)
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Hing powder - 1/8 tsp
Gud or brown sugar - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp +  cumin powder - 1/2 tsp (OR Garam masala - 1/2 tsp)
Salt to taste.
Peanut oil - 2-3 tsp

Recipe:

Wash cilantro and chop it.
(Soak in a pan filled with water. Sand/dirt will settle at the bottom and cilantro leaves will float to the top. Remove cilantro and throw away water. Repeat cleaning cilantro twice).
Add cilantro to a bowl and add all the ingredients except besan flour and peanut oil.  Mix well.
Heat 2-3 tsp peanut oil and add to the mixture (this makes them crisp and absorb less oil while frying).
Start adding besan flour little by little. Start mixing by hand. Add just enough flour to make a dough.
(Do not add more water. You will make the dough with water that has stayed with cilantro after washing it).
Divide dough into 2 parts. Roll each part into 2" cylinder.
Line a pan with a thin fabric or oil it and place the rolls on it.
Steam them in a steamer or a pressure cooker. Cool.
Cut each roll into 1/2" pieces.
Shallow fry them on both sides by adding little oil or deep fry them.

Notes:

1) Serve them as a side dish.
2) Serve them as an appetizer.
3) Use (1/4 cup dill + 3/4 cup spinach) instead of cilantro.
