Till the oil comes to boil, take gram flour in a broad vessel or a bowl. Add salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala (optional). Mix all of it properly. Add and mix fenugreek leaves, coriander leaves and onion rings. Make a paste from the same. Check the oil by putting small part of the mixture.
