Description
Delicious baked rolls with a soft dough wrapped around a sweet split-lentil filling, perfect for a cozy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon ghee (or vegetable oil)
- Water as needed (to form a soft dough)
- Extra flour for dusting (for rolling out the dough)
- 1 cup cooked split yellow lentils (chana dal)
- 1/2 cup jaggery, grated (or more to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
Instructions
- Mix whole wheat flour and ghee in a bowl. Gradually add water and knead to make a soft, smooth dough. Cover and rest for 15–20 minutes.
- In a pan, add cooked chana dal and jaggery. Cook on low heat, stirring often until the jaggery melts and thickens.
- Add turmeric and cardamom powders. Cook until the filling is dry and holds shape. Let cool.
- Divide the dough and filling into equal small balls.
- Dust a work surface lightly with flour. Roll a dough ball into a small circle.
- Place a filling ball in the center and seal the dough around it. Gently roll into a small log shape. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Place rolls on a lined baking tray, spacing them apart.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and brush the rolls with ghee or oil.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature with tea or milk. Brush with ghee for extra shine and flavor.
