Method
- Mix flour, turmeric and 1 tbsp of vegetable oil(optional), mix well and add water as needed to make into a soft pliable dough.
- Set aside covered with a cloth.
- Meanwhile in a saucepan, boil bengal gram in 2 cups of water until soft.
- Drain the lentil well and then drop it back into the saucepan along with jaggery, coconut and cardamom powder.
- Mix well until the jaggery melts and all the ingredients come together into one harmonious mass.
- Cool it lightly and then grind this mixture in food processor without adding any water.
- Toast the cashews (dry roast/in ghee) and then add it to the lentil-jaggery mixture.
- Now take a small lime sized ball from the dough.Roll it out into a small circle.
- Similarly make a small ball from the lentil mixture and place it in the middle of the dough.
- Bring the end of the dough to the center on top of the lentil mixture,pinch them together and then press it down into a flatbread.
- Now lightly roll it out into a flatbread. It does not matter if a circle is not perfect. You can roll it as thinly or as thick you desire.
- Place it a griddle, spoon some ghee all around it and cook until golden brown.
- Turn it around and similarly cook until golden brown/reddish.
- It is good on its own although a little ghee on top makes it irresistable.
