        I would wonder if making your own powder with a grinder and the beans would do the trick, or get the canned garbanzo beans and make into a thick dry paste?
        This recipe had me drooling and drooling! Can’t wait to make it! Thank you Manjula!

    1. SD, you can grind the roasted black grams (the ones used for snacking).. it’s easily available everywhere… Just remove the covering of the roasted black grams and make your own besan for the sabji..
