Instructions to make Chanar Daler Puli Pitha (Bengali Split Chickpea Dumplings):
- Soak the chickpeas overnight. Pressure cook the chickpeas for 2 whistles. Let the pressure cool down completely.
- Meanwhile, heat a pan and add all the ingredients mentioned in "For The Stuffing" section. On a low flame, stir until the ingredients mix properly and the coconut is little fried.
- The stuffing should be sticky such that if you compress, it should stick together. Once it’s done, add ghee and give a quick mix. Remove it from the flame and keep aside.
- Now, take out the boiled chickpeas for the pressure cooker. Drain the water and rub the chickpeas with a clean cloth to absorb the extra water. The more you absorb the water, the less you need to mix all purpose flour. The dumplings will become super soft this way.
- Make a fine paste of the boiled chickpeas. The paste will be thick and tight and that is ok.
- Add all purpose flour and salt with the chickpea paste (as mentioned in "For The Dumpling Dough" section) and knead a smooth dough.
- Note: don’t use extra water to knead the dough. The moisture present in the chickpea paste is sufficient enough.
- Once the dough is done, cut small balls from the dough. With the help of your fingers, press the balls to make bowl shapes.
- Now, stuff them with coconut stuffing and seal the edges to make half moon shaped dumplings. If possible, make design on the edges by curving them with your fingers.
- Once the dumplings are ready, keep them aside.
- In a pan. heat sufficient oil for deep frying. Pour the dumplings and deep fry till they turn golden brown.
- Remove them to a tissue paper spread vessel and keep aside. Allow them to cool down to the room temperature.
- Again, in a heavy bottom pan, add the ingredients mentioned in "For the syrup" section and bring it to a boil by stirring it. Lower the flame and cook it until the sugar gets dissolved and the consistency is little thick.
- The syrup should be rather runny and not too thick.
- Turn off the flame and cool it down to the room temperature.
- Once, both the dumplings and the syrup cool down to the room temperature, submerge the dumplings into the syrup and keep it for 2-3 hours.
- The Chanar Daler Puli Pitha is ready to be served now.
