Recipe:

  • Boil your gram dhal in 1 litre of water adding 1 tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp cumin and salt to taste
  • Boil for up to 45 minutes checking for the softness of the gram dhal. You can stop the process if it crushes when you softly press it with a spoon
  • When it is ready, skim the froth from the surface of the water
  • Strain the gram dhal but do not throw away the water
  • Grind the gram dhal in a food processor until it has an even consistency
  • When all the gram dhal has reached a powder-like consistency, put aside for later use.
  • Onto the dough now, sift the flour and add the oil and salt. Gradually add the boiled water from the gram dhal. Knead until dough resembles bread dough.
  • Add 3 tsb oil and knead until the dough absorbs the oil.
  • Let it rest for 30 minutes
  • Back to the dhal.
  • Add 1 tsp cumin and mix
  • Roll the dhal into small lemon-sized balls.
  • After the dough has rested for 30 minutes, pinch out a ball a little bigger than the dhal ball and flatten it
  • Place a dhal ball in the center and close the dough forming an envelope around the dhal听
  • Roll the dough into a ball and set aside
  • Repeat with the rest of the dhal and dough
  • Let them rest for 30 mins
  • Roll out the dhal puri on a floured surface
  • Oil a hot pan or 鈥渢awa鈥 and place the dhal puri on the hot surface for around a minute
  • Brush the dhal puri with oil as needed
