  1. Prep
    1. Heat the oven to 375°F and lightly oil a muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
    0.2 cup olive oil
  2. 2. Seed and dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, cilantro, mint, and green chili, and grate the ginger. Pat the tomatoes dry so the batter does not become watery.
    2 piece tomatoes, 0.5 piece red onion, 0.2 cup cilantro, 2 tbsp mint, 1 piece green chili, 1 tsp ginger
  3. Batter

  5. 5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until mostly smooth. Fold in the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, mint, green chili, and ginger. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate the besan.

  7. 7. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, until the tops are set, lightly golden, and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
    1.5 cup besan, 2 tsp baking powder, 0.2 tsp baking soda, 0.8 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 0.2 tsp turmeric, 0.2 tsp black pepper, 2 piece tomatoes, 0.5 piece red onion, 0.2 cup cilantro, 2 tbsp mint, 1 piece green chili, 1 tsp ginger, 0.8 cup plain yogurt, 0.2 cup water, 0.2 cup olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice
