Add half a teaspoon of cumin seeds, one cinnamon stick, two bay leaves, two black cardamoms, and two dried red chilies to the same pan with the remaining oil. Add the finely chopped onions and heat for a further 10 to 15 seconds, or until golden brown.

Combine 1 cup besan, ½ cup flour, ½ teaspoon each of turmeric powder, salt, and red chili powder, plus a tablespoon each of yogurt and oil in a separate container. After kneading the mixture into a smooth dough, let it sit for ten to fifteen minutes. 

When you return to the pan, add a teaspoon of yogurt, half a teaspoon of turmeric powder, and one teaspoon of each red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and black pepper. After letting the spices boil, add the water, green paste, and golden potatoes. Simmer the mixture for three to four minutes.

Roll out the dough into rotis while the aromatic flavors meld together, then serve with the irresistible Hariyali Dum Aloo.
