Ingredients:

• 1 cup – Channa dal (boiled)
• 1 – Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 – Green chillies
• salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp – Turmeric
• 1/2 tsp – Garam Masala
• 1/2 tsp – ajwain

Method:

  1. Pressure-cook the channa dal with water, salt and turmeric for about 15 minutes.
  2. Switch to low flame after one whistle.
  3. Drain the water and keep the dal aside.
  4. Chop onions, green chillies and fresh cilantro and add to the boiled dal along with the other spices.
  5. Mix well but do not mash the mixture.
  6. Take the dough and make 2 equal sized small lemon balls. Flatten one and place some of the dal mixture on it and spread.
