Mash the dal a little along with the rest of ingredients so the flavours will blend it. Cook for 3-4 mins and remove from flame.

In another pan add water, a pinch of salt and sugar and bring to simmer. Add rice flour to it slowly while stirring to avoid any lumps.

Once the mixture has formed a dough like consistency, switch off flame and allow it to come to warm temperature.

Take water in a bowl. Rub water on both palm. now take a small dough and flatten it, add filling and close the dough to form a circular shape.

Repeat the steps with all, keep brushing water to palm to avoid the dough to stick. Wash palms if it gets too sticky and start again.
