Chana Galouti with Lachha Parantha

Directions

  1. 1Cook the chana until it is very soft and mushy to create a creamy galouti mixture.
  2. 2Add dahi and ghee to the chana mixture to ensure the galouti are soft and melt in the mouth.

  5. 5Cover the dough with ghee and let it rest.
  6. 6After resting, take out small portions (loi) from the dough.

  8. 8Shape the galouti; note that they are typically soft and not heavily shaped.
  9. 9Cook the lachha parantha until ready.
  10. 10Serve the chana galouti with lachha parantha and pyaaz.
