Last week when I made Puranpoli/Ubbati my maharashtrian
friend/Neighbor suggested me to make katachi/khatachi amti(kat meaning the
water that is save after draining the dal) and gave me some of her kholapuri
goda masala and I made it and it was so flavourful and tasty. The recipe of
making Amti also was given by her and now I am passing it on to you all.
So here is the recipe for Katachi amti.

Strained stock of chana dal 2 cup
