Tips and Suggestions by Mom Chef:-

• The batter should have a watery flowing consistency.
• Sprinkle water in batches to besan, else besan will turn thick.
• Generally, pitla is prepared from only onion, garlic, green chili, but you can also add veggies of your choice.
• Use fresh coriander leaves to garnish it.
• Adjust the spices as per the requirement.
• Pour besan batter little by little to avoid lumps.
• Pitla should have a thin consistency as it becomes thick after cooling down.
• Serve it hot for the better taste.
