In a bowl, place the wheat flour and add a pinch of salt and a bit of oil. Then gradually add water to form a soft and smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15–20 minutes.

In a pan, add a spoon of oil and let it become hot, then add cumin, ginger, onion, green chili. When the onion has become translucent, add the ground/mashed dal and finish with the dry spices. Sauté until dry & aromatic.

Take a small ball of dough, roll it out, place the stuffing in the center, seal it, and gently roll it out. Use dry flour to prevent sticking.
