Recipe
1
Coarsely grind the soaked chana dal without adding too much water.
2
Heat a tablespoon of mustard oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, dried red chilies, ginger, and garlic, then sauté until fragrant.
3
Add the ground chana dal, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt, stirring continuously until the mixture is dry and crumbly; let it cool.
4
Knead the whole wheat flour with water and a pinch of salt to form a smooth dough, then let it rest for 20 minutes.
5
Divide the dough into equal portions, stuff each with a spoonful of the dal mixture, seal the edges, and roll out gently into puris.
6
Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed kadhai and deep-fry the stuffed puris until golden brown and puffed.
7
For the aloo sabzi, heat oil, add hing and boiled potatoes broken into chunks, followed by tomatoes, turmeric, and salt, simmering with water for 10 minutes.
8
Garnish the potato curry with fresh coriander and serve hot alongside the crispy dal puris.
