Pinch salt

Instructies

Cook the Chana Dal for around 20 minutes on a high heat until you can press the daal between your fingers and it crumbles. Allow to cool completely then food process this with a pinch of salt and cumin until you get a sand like consistency

Make the puri by mixing all the ingredients together until you have a soft pliable dough and split this into 6 equal balls.

Allow to rest for 1 hour (give you time to cook the daal and cool it, grind it)

Stuff the puri generously with the dall and then roll into a 25cm (size of a small dinner plate)

place over a hot tawa and brush with oil, flip and brush oil, flip 2 more times and remove from heat. You don’t want any colour on the puri, just enough to softly cook the dough.

Cover in a teatowel to keep the puri very soft after cooking.
