Instructions

1. Pholourie (boulders): Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl thoroughly. (Test the mixture by dropping small blobs of batter in a cup of water until it floats).

4. Add the curry and let it fry until it is about to stick to the pot. Add the dhal and the rest of water (11 cups) and stir (Note: While stirring, the dhal will thicken.)
5. Add the hot pepper and "boulders". Bring to a boil. Add geera and salt to taste
6. Serve over rice or with roti.
