Soak 1½ cup of Channa Dal in water for about 2-4 hours. Pressure-cook (2 whistles) it in (1:1½) enough water until just cooked. Drain the chana dal while it is hot.

Mix 1½ cup of Jaggery, 2 tsp of Cardamom Powder and channa dal in a big saucepan and place it on medium heat. Bring this mixture to boil and cook it until it is dry. Cool it and then mash with a potato masher.

Dough - Mix 2 cups of All Purpose Flour, Salt to taste and make soft pliable dough with water. Now add 1½ tbsp of Oil, mix and keep the dough aside, covered for atleast 15 mins.

Make lemon size balls of the jaggery and channa dal mixture. Oil the working board slightly and place the dough ball on it. Flatten the dough ball with your fingers (applying a little oil to your fingers helps). Place the jaggery and channa dal ball on this. Bring the ends of the dough to seal the filling. Now flip the sealed dough and press lightly with your fingers to spread it out like a roti. Spread it as thin as you like it.

Carefully place this on a griddle/tawa and cook until small black specks start appearing on both sides and they become a delicious golden brown. Apply some oil/ghee on both sides while cooking.
