1 cup	gahat dal (horse gram)
2 cups	whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon	ghee
1 teaspoon	cumin seeds
1 teaspoon	ginger
1 teaspoon	green chili
—	salt to taste
—	water as needed

Instructions

1. 1 Wash and soak the gahat dal overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.
2. 2 Drain the soaked dal and pressure cook it with water until soft, about 3-4 whistles.
3. 3 Allow the cooked dal to cool, then mash it coarsely.
4. 4 In a pan, heat ghee and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add grated ginger and chopped green chili.
5. 5 Add the mashed dal to the pan, season with salt, and cook for a few minutes until the mixture is dry. Let it cool.
6. 6 In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and water to form a soft dough.
7. 7 Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a small disc.
8. 8 Place a spoonful of the gahat filling in the center of each disc, gather the edges, and seal to form a ball.
9. 9 Gently roll the stuffed ball into a flat disc, ensuring the filling does not spill out.
10. 10 Heat a tawa or griddle and cook the roti on medium heat, applying ghee on both sides, until golden brown and cooked through.
11. 11 Serve hot with yogurt or chutney.
