Step 1
Mix chickpea flour, yogurt, green chilis, ginger, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth and lump-free.
Step 2
Stir in baking soda—the batter will foam and rise immediately. Work quickly.
Step 3
Pour batter into a parchment-lined 8-inch square baking dish or steamer-safe vessel.
Step 4
Steam over boiling water (or use a trivet + covered pot) for 10 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5
Cool 2 minutes, then cut into 1.5-inch squares and transfer to a serving plate.
Step 6
Drizzle chili oil over the top and serve warm or at room temperature.
