6 steps · 45 min

1
Make a pliable dough from flour, salt and water. Knead well for atleast 10minutes or until the dough is soft, smooth and ready.If the dough is very sticky and wet, add some more flour.Cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for an hour.Meanwhile, cook lentils per package directions (I boiled lentils and water in 1:3 proportion; then reduced heat to simmer and cook covered for 20-25minutes -- proportion and cooking time varies depending on the lentil variety).
2
Add cilantro, onions, salt and stuffing spices to the cooked lentils.
3
Mix well and set aside.Divide the dough into 4 equal sized balls.Using a rolling pin or your hands flatten the dough into a circular disk with a diameter roughly equal to your palm.
