​Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, take 1 cup of rice flour, add salt and required hot water. Mix well and knead it into a smooth dough. Cover and set it aside for 10 minutes.

​Prepare the Filling: Take the well-washed and soaked chana dal in a mixer jar. Add green chilies, garlic, a small piece of ginger, black peppercorns, and salt. Coarsely grind them without adding too much water (do not make a fine paste). Transfer to a bowl.

​Shape the Breakfast: Take small portions of the prepared rice flour dough, roll into a ball, and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a spoonful of the chana dal filling in the center and fold/seal it gently into a semi-circle shape.

​Steam Cook: Grease a steamer plate with a little oil and arrange the shaped pieces. Steam cook on medium flame for 10 to 15 minutes until well cooked.

​Optional Tempering: Heat a pan with a little oil, splutter mustard and cumin seeds, add slit green chilies and curry leaves. Toss the steamed pieces in this tempering for a couple of minutes for extra flavor.
