Ingredients

  • 1 cup leftover dal curry
  • 2 cups wholewheat flour
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp kasuri methi crushed
  • 4 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
  • 2 + 1 tbsp oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Warm water as required
  • Ghee for roasting

Instructions

  • If there are chunks in your curry, blitz till smooth. Pour into a bowl.
  • Add in all the other ingredients from flours to coriander leaves, 2 tbsp of oil and salt and mix all well.
  • Add water slowly by slowly as required and knead into a soft dough.
  • Coat with the remaining oil and allow the dough to rest, covered with a towel for around 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Divide into 12 equal balls. Roll them into rounds.
  • Heat a plat fry pan till done, drizzle with some ghee. Cook both the sides till done, drizzling some ghee as required.
  • Keep stored in a lined hotpot till done.

Notes

I used around 1/4 cup of water. If your dal is watery, you may need even more less water. In case the dough becomes sticky, add more flour to adjust.
