| 1. sift dry ingredients into a bowl. | 2. add the water a little at a time, and knead gently till a soft dough forms. | 3. Continue kneading till supple, but do not overwork dough. | 4. add oil to the dough and continue to knead till it is completely smooth. | 5. put the dough in a plastic bag or wrap in clear film. | 6. place in a cool room or in the refrigerator and leave to reast for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if possible. | 7. to make the filling, put the split peas in a large pan, pour over water to cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes, till half cooked - they should be tender on the outside, but still firm in the middle. | 8. allow water to evaporate during cooking, till pan is almost dry, but add a little extra water to prevent burning if necessary. | 9. spread out the peas on a tray. When cool, grind to a paste, using a mortar and pestle or food processor. Mix with cumin and garlic. | 10. Divide the dough into about 15 balls, slightly flatten each ball, put about 1 T of the split pea mixture into the center and fold over the edges. | 11. dust a rolling pin and board with flour and roll out the dhal puri, taking care not to overstretch the dough, till they are 7 inches in diameter. | 12. heat a little oil in a frying pan. Cook dhal puri for 3 minutes on each side till light brown. Serve as soon as last one is cooked. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
