Steps

30 minutes

1

Soak the chana dal for 3 hours. Heat oil in a pan, add the bay leaf and dried red chili, and let them sizzle for about 3 minutes. Add the drained dal and sauté well.
2

When all the water has evaporated from the dal, add coriander powder, chili powder, salt, and turmeric powder. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Add 1 cup (about 240 ml) water and let it cook for another 5 minutes until the dal becomes very soft.
3

Let the dal cool, then transfer it to a blender jar and grind it into a paste.
4

Take the flour in a bowl. Add turmeric and oil, then knead well to make a smooth dough.
5

Once the dough is ready, make small balls. Flatten each ball, place some dal filling in the center, seal it gently, and roll it out carefully into a flatbread. Make sure the puri does not tear.
6

When the oil is hot, gently place the puri in the oil. Fry until golden and cooked on both sides. Repeat with the remaining puris.
7

Serve the stuffed dal puri with any vegetable curry or coconut chutney. It tastes delicious!
