  2. Grind roasted Bengal gram to a fine powder. Keep it aside
  3. Take a wide bowl, add all ingredients in the list along with required water and mix everything well to form a stiff dough(like chappathi dough). Make small balls (gooseberry sized) out of it.
  4. Take a Zip lock bag or plastic cover grease it with oil. Take a ball and flatten it using your palm; carefully take it from the plastic sheet and keep it aside.
