1 cup Bengal Gram (Chana Dal)
1 cup Jaggery (Powdered)
to taste Cardamom Powder
1 tbsp Clarified Butter (Ghee)

Combine maida, salt, and turmeric in a bowl. Add water and 2 teaspoons of oil, kneading into a soft dough. Apply 1 teaspoon of oil over the surface and let it rest for 1 hour.

Once cool, shape the puran mixture into small equal-sized balls.

Divide the rested dough into balls. Flatten a dough ball, place a puran ball in the center, and seal the edges tightly.

Place the stuffed ball between two greased butter paper sheets. Gently press and spread it into a flat disc using your palms.

Cook on a hot greased tawa, flipping every 10-15 seconds until both sides are golden and cooked evenly.
