Split gram dal (chana dal) - 1/2 kg
Rice flour (chawal aata) - 1 kg
Cumin seeds - 2 tbsp
Red chillies whole - 7-8
Garlic peeled - 2 whole
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander leaves chopped - a bunch
Salt - to taste
Water - 1 1/2 glass
Method :
1. Soak the dal overnight, drain and grind it coarsely together with
cumin seeds, garlic and red chillies in a grinder.
3. Add coriander leaves, turmeric powder, salt in the dal and mix it all nicely.Keep it aside.
4. Take a big karahi and boil 1 1/2 glass of water, when it comes to boil take it off the heat and mix the rice flour in it. Knead a nice and pliable dough using little water.
5. Make small round shaped puris and fill 1 tbsp of the dal mix in it, join it and arrange it in a steamer. Make all in the same manner.
6. Use little oil, smearing it in front of the faras while arranging the other ones to avoid sticking.
7. When all are made steam it for 10- 12 minutes on a medium flame or till done. The dal and the flour should be cooked and the dumpling should come out very soft.
8. Take it out on a serving plate and serve it with mango or pudina chutney.
9. Rice flour can be kneaded without putting it in a boiling water also but kneading it in boiling water makes the dough and the dumplings extra soft.
10. It can be refrigerated and be fried and eaten the next day also.
