Toor dal
½ cup

Jaggery powdered
½ cup heaved

Maida
1 cup heaved + for dusting

Salt
A pinch

Rice flour / Roasted channa dal powder
¼ cup
Adjust as required
Cardamom powder / elaichi
½ tsp

Water
For cooking + For kneading

Oil
For greasing

Ghee
For serving





Method:

Cook toor dal with just enough water to cover it for 2-3 whistles on medium flame. 



After the pressure releases, grind it to a smooth paste with little water if required.


Mix it with jaggery and a pinch of salt and mix till all the jaggery melts. The mixture becomes thinner now. So add rice flour bit by bit and mix well to a consistency that you can make balls out of it. (Rice flour may be required less in some cases so just be careful). Add cardamom powder, switch off the flame and mix well. Set it aside to cool.



When the mixture is just warm, make equal sized balls and keep it aside.


Mix maida with water and knead it to a soft dough. It should be like roti dough. Keep it aside for 5 mins.


Grease your palms with some oil and make 8 equal sized balls. Take a ball, spread it using fingers to small roti's and place a filling and cover it from all sides. Repeat the same with remaining dough.



Roll the stuffed dough like paratha's and cook them on tawa on both sides.



Serve hot with ghee. Also cool and store in dry, air tight container for later use.

Tip:

 Add 1/4 cup of coconut for enhanced flavour.
