Dal Pakwan (Lentils with Unleavened Bread) Ingredients: For the Dal 250 gm chana dal 1 tsp cumin seeds 6-7 whole green chillies, slit 3 cups water 3-4 tbsps oil A pinch of chilli powder 1/2 tsp turmeric powder 2 tbsps of coriander leaves, chopped A pinch of mango powder Salt to taste   For the Pakwan 300 gm plain flour 1/2 tsp cumin seeds 3 tbsps oil Oil for deep frying Salt to taste Sufficient water to make a dough    Method: For the Dal Wash the dal and soak it for about two hours. Pour 3-4 tbsps oil in a cooker and allow it to heat. Add cumin seeds and green chillies and fry for a couple of minutes. Now, without draining the water, add the soaked dal, turmeric powder and salt. Let it simmer in the cooker for 10-12 minutes till the dal is tender. For the Pakwan Sieve the flour. Mix the flour with the cumin seeds, oil, salt and sufficient water and make a dough. Make sure the dough is not too soft — you should be able to roll it. Divide the dough into small portions. Roll out a portion like a chappati, not too thick nor too thin. With a fork poke holes in the entire rolled out portion so that it remains flat and does not rise like a puri while frying. Heat the oil. Once the smoke starts rising from the oil, slide in the Pakwan and keep turning from one side to the other for a few minutes. Turn down the flame and fry till the Pakwan is a light shade of golden brown.
