When a spicy dish is served with a sweet one, it helps to highlight the best of both! This fact is proved by the all-time favourite Maharashtrian combo of Puran Poli with Katachi Amti.
It is made frequently by them, and is a must-have on Gudi Padwa day. Katachi Amti is a tongue-tickling preparation of chana dal, which combines sweet and savoury flavours.
Ingredients like ginger and green chillies raise the spice quotient while jaggery gives it a rustic sweetness that appeals to the Indian palate.
You can also add a dash of turmeric powder and garam masala at step 7, to give a spicier twist to the Katachi Amti. Enjoy this time-tested combo hot and fresh!
