Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Wash the dhal, soak in water either overnight or few hours until soften.
* Step 2
Drain the water, leaving some still in the bowl. As you will need it when you start grinding the dhall.
* Step 3
Divide the soaked dhall in three portion. Start grinding the dhall in batches. First part grind to a coarse texture (sand or semolina texture).
* Step 4
Second portion grind to a slight smoother texture.
* Step 5
Third grind to a smooth creamy texture. You may add a little water in order to achieve that smoother texture.
* Step 6
Place all in a mixing bowl.
* Step 7
Add the rest of the ingredients. Season with salt and adjust accordingly.
* Step 8
Shape into golf size uneven balls.
* Step 9
Heat oil and start to deep fry in batches. The oil temperature has to be right otherwise it will burn on the outside and remain soggy inside.
* Step 10
Fry until golden throughout and crusty outside.
* Step 11
Remove and drain on a kitchen paper.
* Step 12
Enjoy while still warm either on its own or with a chutney
* Step 13
I usually make a coriander chutney or simply with crusty bread - the Mauritian way.
