Ingredients:

300g Flour
200g Split Peas
1lt Water
1tsp Tumeric Powder
1tsp Salt
1tsp Fennel Seeds

Method: Should make 8-10 Balls

In a pan add water salt turmeric and bring to boil. Add the yellow split peas.

Boil the yellow split peas for 20-30 mins until soft and crumbles when pressed between thumb and finger.

Drain the yellow split peas reserving the water into a jug. Place the peas onto a large tray and allow to cool completely

Once cooled, add the toasted fennel and the yellow split peas to a food processor and pulse until very fine, this will take a few minutes. You need to scrape the bowl down and keep processing until you have a fine crumb.

In a large bowl, add the plain flour, and then slowly add in the warm water that you cooked the yellow split peas with. Mix with your hands until you get a super soft dough. Divide into 12 equal balls.

Take 1 ball and follow out the middle using your thumb and forefinger and create a well, fill this really densely with the fine yellow split peas powder then carefully bring the ball together by sealing it up and rolling it back into a ball. Repeat with all other balls until all 12 are filled.

Dip each ball of dough in flour and carefully roll out until the bread is super thin

Using a pancake pan/roti pan/tawa, brush with some oil and ensure a medium heat, add 1 dal Puri at a time brushing quickly with oil flip 3 or 4 times and take off heat. It's important to see bubbles but not yo colour the dal Puri or make them brown. Each dal Puri takes 30 seconds to cook.
