Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1.5 cups flour and 0.5 cup water until a soft dough forms. Knead for 2 minutes, then cover and set aside.
Step 2
In another bowl, mash 1 cup cooked lentils with 0.5 cup jaggery and 0.5 teaspoon cardamom until smooth. If too dry, add a splash of water.
Step 3
Divide dough into 4 balls. Roll each into a 5 inch circle, place a quarter of the lentil filling in the center, and fold edges over to seal.
Step 4
Roll each filled ball gently into a 7 inch flatbread. Heat a skillet over medium and cook each flatbread with 0.5 tablespoon ghee until golden spots appear, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 5
Serve warm, drizzled with extra ghee if desired.
