Dal Pakwan दाल पाकवां Recipe - Ranveer Brar

Ingredients

For Dal

1 cup Chana Dal, soaked for ½ hour

½ tsp Turmeric powder

Salt to taste

2 tbsp Ghee

½ tsp Cumin seeds

1 Onion, chopped

1 Green chilli, chopped

1 tsp Red chilli powder

½ tsp Garam masala powder

Fresh Coriander, for garnish

½ cup Onions, chopped for garnish

For Pakwan

1 ½ cups Refined flour

Salt to taste

1 tsp Cumin seeds

1 ½ tsp Ghee, warm

Oil for frying

Process

Pressure cook the dal by adding turmeric powder, salt and 1 ¾ cups of water. Cook for 2 whistles and keep aside.
Heat ghee in a non-stick kadhai and add in cumin seeds and let it crackle.
Now add in the onions and green chillies and fry them till nice light golden brown in colour.
Add in red chilli powder and garam masala powder and mix well.
Pour in the cooked dal and mix everything together. Check for seasonings and consistency. If very thick then add little water and let it cook for 5-6 minutes more.
Now for the pakwan, add refined flour, salt, cumin seeds and ghee in a bowl and mix well.
Add water as required and make firm dough. Rest the dough for 10 minutes and then divide it equally into 8-9 portions.
Roll out each portion into 1 cm thick sheet and poke it using a fork.
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry it on medium heat on both the sides until they turn nice crisp and golden brown in colour.
Remove on an absorbent paper to drain off the excess oil.
Before serving, reheat the dal and garnish with chopped onions and fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot along with the crispy pakwans.
