Prepare the Dharan Tikkis: In a bowl, combine besan, salt, chopped onion, red chilli powder, khus khus, and 2 tablespoons of oil.

Add curd to the mixture and mix well to form a soft dough.

Shape the dough into lemon-sized balls and flatten them into cutlet shapes.

Heat cooking oil in a deep fry pan.

Fry the prepared Dharan tikkis until golden brown.

Drain the tikkis on a kitchen napkin to remove excess oil and set aside.

Prepare the Kadhi Gravy: In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 2 teaspoons of oil.

Add cumin seeds and cloves and let them sputter.

Add onion puree and sauté until it changes color.

Add ginger garlic paste and stir until the raw smell disappears.

Add tomato puree and chopped green chilies and sauté until the gravy combines well.

Stir in coriander powder and mix well until the gravy comes together.

Simmer the gravy and add the besan tikkis into it.

Add 2 cups of water, cover, and cook on low flame until the tikkis soften.

Turn off the flame, garnish with chopped coriander leaves, and serve hot with Phulkas or Tawa Parathas and a side of Carrot Salad.
