Step 4
Once they begin to crackle, add chopped garlic and check till it becomes light golden.

Garnish it with chopped cilantro.
Step 9
Serve Maharashtrian Besan Pitla with bhakri (most preferred combo) but it tastes good with any bread or rice. Spread it on a bread and enjoy it like a sandwich or use it as a dip.
