  4. Fry for a few seconds and add the chopped onions.
  5. Fry till translucent and then add the fenugreek leaves and salt.
  6. Mix nicely and cover and cook for 3-4 minutes. Some amount of moisture will be realised while cooking the fenugreek leaves. If you think the methi leaves are too dry sprinkle a little water.
  7. Add the Besan gradually with one hand and stirring constantly with the other.
  8. Adjust the proportion of Besan till it takes up all the moisture. (Consistency of Zunka should be dry.)
  9. Cook for a few more seconds.
