1. 1Rinse the green chillies thoroughly. Make a slit along the length of each chilli and carefully remove the seeds.
2. 2In a mixing bowl, combine besan, salt, ginger garlic paste, turmeric, baking soda, and red chilli powder. Gradually add water to form a thick batter, ensuring it is not too watery.
