      Adding to my collection of time savers! I keep a big jar of * toasted * (In a saute pan with no oil) gram flour on hand for when I don't want to cook lentils, or just plain don't want them whole in what I'm making. It goes into rasam & sambhar and in other things that need to be thickened. Your recipe tastes different depending on whether it gets toasted or raw gram flour. : - )

      Won't it taste sweet because of the sugar?

        sugar balances the taste. it rounds up the flavour.
