- Combine channa dal with 4 cups of water and 1/2 tsp turmeric powder.
- Cook this until the channa dal has just cooked.

- Now, combine the cooked dal, jaggery and turmeric powder in a blender.
- Grind to a smooth paste without adding any water.
- Once done, heat a pan with 2 tsp ghee.
- Add the filling paste and mix well.
- Cook on medium flame until all moisture leaves the paste and the paste comes together in a lump without sticking to the pan.
- If you are able to roll the filling into a ball, that s when its done.
- Once ready, let cool a bit.
- Make small lemon size balls of the filling.
- Now, take out the filling.

- Drizzle ghee around the edges, flip over and cook until golden spots appear on both sides.
- Place this on a plate, allow it to cool and then stack the obbattu one over the other.
