Method

• Pressure cook chana dal and allow to cool and keep aside.
• Powder the jaggery and put the cooked chana dal n jaggery in a blender and blend well to smooth paste without water.
• Then transfer the grounded paste to a bowl and add chopped nuts and cardamom powder, mix well.
• Divide it into small lemon size balls (come around 25 balls) and keep aside.
• Take a wide bowl,add maida,salt,turmeric powder and cooking soda stir well and using water make it to the little thick batter (thicker than bonda mix).
• Heat oil in a wok for deep frying.
• When the oil gets really hot,take one ball at a time n dip inthe maida batter and drop carefully in to the hot oil , fry till light brown on both sides.(just like puri for for few minutes only..don't let it in oil for long time).

Note:
If the maida batter is thin ..you will get thin crust...
