Critical Success Points
- • Soaking the chana dal long enough to become soft.
- • Blending the dal to a fine paste without adding excess water.
- • Cooking the semolina quickly on low heat to avoid a dry, grainy texture.
- • Covering the semolina dough while it cools to trap steam.
- • Steaming the patties for the correct time (8‑10 min) – over‑steaming leads to sogginess.
Safety Warnings
- • Hot steam can cause burns – keep face away from the steamer lid.
- • Oil in the pan can splatter; use a splatter guard if needed.
