Roast suji on medium flame till it changes colour. Mix in all the other ingredients for the filling. Cook on medium / slow flame, stirring occasionally, till the mixture is dry.

To prepare the dough, rub oil into maida. Add water and make into stiff dough. Knead the dough till pliable. Keep aside covered for 10-15 minutes. Knead dough once again. Divide the dough in to small balls. Roll each ball into a flat round like a thin puri. Place one tbsp of the filling.
