Note – This recipe has been updated from the archives – first published August 2016. I’ve added new images, the recipe remains the same.

Often we think of farali dishes as being void of any vegetables - think farali potatoes and sabudana khichdi!

Over the years, my Mum has prepared plenty of farali dishes with vegetables like farali bhinda, farali spinach puri or farali patra. She also sneaks them into dishes like these muthiya and farali dudhi thepla.

A note on farali flour

Farali flour is pretty easy to purchase in Indian grocery stores. It's usually a mix of different farali flours and will vary by brand.

If you can't find it, use a mix of some of these flours: rajgira, singoda, moraiyo or sabudana flour.
