Spring onion (scallions) fry



Usually I use spring onions either in a fried rice or as a spring onion - potato fry. This time I tried something different. I fried them with gram flour. The thing to keep in mind while doing this is to first fry the gram flour and then add the spring onions. The spring onions tend to ooze out a lot of water. So, if the gram flour is not cooked prior to adding the onions, it forms a really sticky mess.

Ingredients

  • Spring onion - 2 bunches
  • Gram flour (besan) - 1 tbsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Chilly powder to taste
  • Turmeric powder - a pinch
  • Cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp
  • Oil

Directions
  • Chop spring onions into small pieces (include leaf and bulb)
  • Heat oil in a pan. Put in the cumin seeds.
  • When the cumin seeds splutter, add the gram flour and fry till they are brown
  • Add the chopped spring onions along with salt, chilly powder and turmeric powder
  • Stir fry till the spring onion is cooked.
