"This is a really tasty snack we usually have in our country, with tea, on a rainy day. Besan is ground chick peas; it's also known as gram flour, and you can find it at Indian stores. Serve with ketchup or chili sauce for dipping."

1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
3/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 pinch ground turmeric
2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

Directions

In a medium bowl, mix together the besan, water, salt, chili powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander seeds, onion, and jalapeno pepper until it forms a smooth mixture with no flour lumps.
