• Let it rest for 30 minutes

• Back to the dhal.

• After the dough has rested for 30 minutes, pinch out a ball a little bigger than the dhal ball and flatten it
• Place a dhal ball in the center and close the dough forming an envelope around the dhal 
• Roll the dough into a ball and set aside
• Repeat with the rest of the dhal and dough
• Let them rest for 30 mins
