The shopkeeper told that to prepare Girwach pakoras, first soak the gram lentils overnight. Then grind it the next morning using a grinding stone or machine. Then add spices like salt, green chillies, black pepper, turmeric, coriander, garlic and ginger and mix it. The spicy prepared gram flour is wrapped on large leaves of arui/arbi. Then the leaves are placed on top of it and the gram flour is wrapped. This is done four to five times and it is folded and made longer. After this, it is boiled in water for a long time.
