Keep aside cooked thick chana dal for cooling. Make a smooth paste of chana dal in a mixer. Do not add water.


In a non - stick pan, heat ghee. Add chana dal paste and stir for 2 - 3 minute on a low heat. Add milkmaid condensed milk / 1 tin (or 3/4 tin to 1 tin). Mix well. Cover with a lid and cook on a low heat for 15 minutes or till the mixture leaves from the side of the pan. Stir occasionally. Sprinkle cardamom powder. Keep aside for cooling. Divide this thick mixture into 10- 12 equal portions.

Divide maida dough into 10 - 12 equal portions.

Smear the palm of left hand with a little ghee and flatten on it one portion of the dough in the shape of a puri.

Place a lime-sized ball of dal paste in the centre.


Gather up the edges of the puri, enclose the dal paste completely and pinch the seams well together (like aloo paratha).

Dust this ball with maida. Place the dusted ball on a chapatti board and carefully roll it out into a 1/8’’ thick chapatti.

Fry it on a medium heat on a tawa turning it over once or twice carefully; smear ghee while frying. Serve hot or cool.
