For Dough
All purpose flour-1 cup
Turmeric powder-1 pinch
Water-as required
Gingelly oil-3 to 4 tbsp

Channa dal-1 cup
Water-to cook channa dal
Sugar-1 cup
Turmeric powder- 1 pinch
Cardamom powder- 1/2 tsp
Water-as required

Other ingredients
Rice flour-1/2 cup
Ghee-as required

Instructions:

Wash channa dal well ,add sufficient quantity of water and pressure cook just until done.Do not over cook the dal. Keep aside.

To prepare the dough,combine together all purpose flour and turmeric powder in a bowl.Add water and  mix well.

Knead to form a soft dough.It should be a bit sticky.Now pour the gingelly oil over the dough.Cover and keep aside for at least 30 minutes.

Drain the cooked channa dal.In a pan,add cooked channa dal ,one pinch turmeric powder and sugar.Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until it turns thick.( do not overcook,if you do so, the mixture will dry up)

Switch off the stove ,add cardamom powder  and mix well until combined. Allow it to cool completely. Divide this filling into 18 to 20 equal size balls.

Take a small portion of the dough(i.e just enough to make a very thin layer around the filling) and  flatten it in your palm.Place the filling  over this.

Cover the filling with the dough by gently pulling the edges towards the center. Flatten the prepared ball and dust both sides with rice flour.

Roll this to form a thin circle.( make it as thin as possible.) .Dust the surface with rice flour to prevent sticking.

Heat a tava and cook the boli for few seconds on both the sides or until the color starts to change,over a medium flame. Drizzle ghee on top.Carefully remove the boli and repeat with the remaining dough.

Notes:
To get soft bolis ,the dough should be sticky and soft.Make sure that you cover the dough completely with oil.

Do not cook the boli for too long,if you do so it will turn hard.
