Alas, the books do not mention how humidity affects the besan. My batter in this endless *shken* became too thin, and the vadas drank all the oil like a thirsty field. For the chutney, I toasted the garlic dutifully, but my grinding stone is old and left it coarse, not a fine powder. My attempt was a lesson in patience, not in cooking—my porch now smells faintly of disappointment and fried gram flour.
