Steps

45 mins
  1. 1

    Take a wide bowl, add all purpose flour, salt, a tbsp of oil and mix well. Now add little by little water at a time and make a soft sticky dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes. Now add remaining oil and mix it thoroughly, close it with a damp cloth and let it rest for half an hour. Then make lemon size balls out of the dough and set aside.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, let us make stuffing for the dough. Heat a pan, add jaggery and a tbsp of water and boil till the jaggery melts completely. Filter the jaggery water if there are any impurities. Now add grated coconut and saute for 4-5 minutes. Then add cardamom powder and saute till the stuffing reaches a thick consistency.

  3. 3

    Now cool the stuffing completely and make lemon size balls out of it and set aside. Now apply a generous amount of oil to your hands and take the lemon size dough and place it on a zip lock bag, banana leaf or wax paper applied with oil. Pat dough gently to form a small circle.

  4. 4

    Now place stuffing in the middle of the dough and fold the dough in such a way that the stuffing is inside the dough. i.e gently gather all the edges to the center and cover the stuffing completely. Repeat the procedure for all the dough and stuffing and set aside. Now spread the dough gently by patting with your hands in a circular shape as shown. You can apply oil to your hands to avoid dough sticking to your hands.

  5. 5

    Heat a pan, add a tsp of ghee and gently slide the patted dough on the pan. Cook on both sides till it turns golden brown. It cooks very fast, it takes hardly a minute to cook on both sides. Repeat the process for the remaining stuffed dough. Remove it on a plate and enjoy it either hot or cold.
