- 2 tbsp ghee
Method:
METHOD:
- Roast the channa dal in a pan till nice aroma comes out but ensure that you do not burn the same. approx. two to three minutes is ok
- Wash and soak it in water for 3 -4 hours.
- Drain the water and grind to a smooth paste .
- If need be just add 1 tblsp of water.
- Grease a small bowl or a plate with ghee. Put the ground chana dal in it and steam cook for 10 minutes.
- In a kadai put the jaggery and add little water.
- when it is completely melted, remove the impurities if any, wash the kadai and transfer back the syrup to the kadai.
- Make one string consistency syrup.
- We can check the consistency of the syrup by taking the jaggery syrup between the thumb and the index finger. Before doing this just dip your fingers in water.
- When it reaches one string consistency, add the ground dal to this and mix it nicely.
- Add a tblsp of ghee to this and mix well,till it becomes soft and reaches a puttu consistency.
- You can add little more ghee if you wish while sauteing the same.
- Prepare this dish in low flame always.
