Fry 1 tsp of mustard seeds, 1 tbsp of chana dal and 1 tbsp of urad dal in 2 tbsp of cooking oil or ghee for a few seconds on a medium flame. Then add 1 piece of finely chopped medium-sized onion. Fry until soft.

Then add 10 pieces of curry leaves and 1 tbsp of finely chopped green chilies and fry for about 10 seconds. Mix 2 cups of semolina (suji). Fry until dry. (Pro Tip: I usually check the semolina with my fingers whether it is sticky or not. If it is, dry roast a bit before adding).

Boil 3 cups of water. While the water boils, mix 1 tsp of salt and ¼ tsp of turmeric powder to the suji.

Add the hot water to the suji along with a cup of boiled carrots and beans. (Pro Tip: I ensure the water is boiling hot because lukewarm will make the khara bath lumpy).

Also add one large, finely chopped tomato, a handful of finely chopped coriander leaves and 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Mix everything nicely. Transfer it to a serving bowl.

Your healthy and tasty homemade Khara bath is ready.
