Ingredients:
For Filling:
Thur Dal and split bengal gram dal in equal propotions- 1 Cup
Jaggery-1 Cup+1tbsp
water
Outside coat:
Semolina/sooji/Chiroti rave- 1/4Kg
Maida/Refined flour- 2 Tbsp
oil- 3tbsp
Method:
First take maida and rava in a bowl, add oil and knead the dough.
For the filling, cook both the dals till soft. make sure you do not pressure cook as they become mushy. In a kadai, put jaggery, add water so the Jaggery just soaks. Turn the heat on. A syrup should be formed in such a way that it just boils and huge bubble start appearing. Now add the cooked dal without the water. Mix well. Once the mixture has cooled, grind it without water. Initially it will be difficult to grind, but adding water makes it like a paste and tou cannot stuff it inside the dough.
Roll the dough into small but thick poori sized roundel. Fill it with the dal mixture. Close it and roll it like a Parantha.
Fry both sides on a tawa using Ghee(clarified Butter) or oil accordingly.
Bele Obattu for the festive season is ready! Serve it warm with milk or ghee.
