Steps

1

Soak moong dal for 4-5 hours. Now grind into coarse paste.
2

In a dry grinder jar, add coriander seeds, fennel seeds and cumin seeds and pulse 2-3 times to grind.
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the ground seeds and saute for few seconds. Now add the chickpea flour and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Now add the moong dal and keep stirring.
Add salt, red chilli powder and mix together.
Switch off the gas and add mango powder and sugar and mix together well and keep aside to cool down.
3

In a separate bowl, take Maida. Add salt and 2-3 teaspoons of oil and mix well. Press some flour in your palm and check if it comes together. Now add water very little at a time and knead into a tight dough.

Remove the extra dough.
