Ingredients: 

Pakwaan
½ cup plain flour
¼ cup fine semolina
½ tsp cumin seeds
Salt, to taste
1 tsp ghee
2 tbsp full-cream milk
½ cup water
Sunflower oil, for frying

Dal
1 packet ready-made Tomato, Cumin & Lentil Dal
½ tsp ghee

Green Yogurt Chutney
1½ tbsp green chutney
1 cup Greek yogurt

To serve
½ onion, finely diced
1 bunch coriander, leaves picked
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Method: 

  1. To prepare the pakwaan. Mix the flour, semolina, cumin seeds and salt.
  2. Add ghee and mix in the milk, until the flour mix looks crumbly.
  3. Slowly add in some water, to make a firm dough, set the dough aside to rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Halve the dough and roll out until about 1cm thick. Use a 7cm dough cutter to cut portions of the dough.
  5. Use a fork to pierce the flattened dough, this will prevent it puffing up too much during the cooking process.
  6. Bring a pot of vegetable oil up to 180°C.
  7. Fry the pieces of dough for 3-5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel and allow to drain for a few minutes.
  8. Heat the dal over a medium heat in a cooking pot, add in the ghee and stir through. Once the dal boils, take off the heat and cool slightly.
  9. To make the green yoghurt chutney mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
  10. Top the pakwaan with dal, green yoghurt chutney, diced onion and coriander leaves. Serve with a wedge of lemon.
