Step-by-Step Instructions
- Soak 1 cup of chana dal for at least 2 hours, drain, and transfer to a pressure cooker. Cover with water, add salt and turmeric, and cook under pressure for 8 minutes.
- Mash the cooked chana dal in a mixing bowl. In a pan over medium heat, add the mashed dal and ½ cup of jaggery, stirring continuously for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of ghee, ½ cup of grated coconut, ½ teaspoon of cardamom powder, ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg powder, and saffron if using. Mix until combined.
- Lay a roti on a clean surface, spoon the filling onto one side, and roll tightly to encase the filling. Seal edges with a flour slurry.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), place rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with melted ghee, and bake for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle finished rolls with honey or maple syrup, sprinkle chopped almonds, and adorn with gold foil or rose petals.
