    • 3.5 tablespoon Oil

    • ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder

    Instructions:

    • In a mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, turmeric powder and 2 tablespoons of warm oil and mix well.
    • Add water little by little and knead it into a very soft dough.

    • The dough should be loose than the regular chapathi dough.

    • Keep it aside for 1 - 2 hours.

    • Grind the grated coconut and powdered jaggery in a mixer.
    • Cook the ground coconut mixture for few minutes over a medium flame.
    • Add the cardamom powder and stir continuously until you get a thick and lumpy mixture.
    • Turn off the flame and let it cool down. 

    • Divide the soaked dough into 9 - 10 equal sized balls and set aside.
    • Shape the cooked coconut mixture into 9 - 10 round balls and set aside.

    • Flatten the dough ball with your fingers to form a small disc and place coconut stuffing ball in the middle of the disc.

    • Bring the edges together and seal it carefully.
    • Dust some flour on the flat surface and roll the stuffed dough to a thin / little thick disc.

    • Heat a pan / tawa and spread some ghee. Place the rolled dough on the hot pan.
    • Drizzle some ghee and cook. When one side gets cooked, then flip it over and cook until brown spots appear.

    • Cook them both sides until brown spots appear. Apply little more ghee if needed.
    • Repeat the same for the rest of the dough and stuffing.
    • Serve hot or warm.
