1 tbsp finely chopped onion

1 tbsp finely chopped capsicum

1 tbsp tomato ketchup

1 tbsp refined oil

Salt to taste

200 gm flour

¼ tsp salt

Water for the dough

50 gm butter

1. Sieve the flour and place it in a bowl. 
2. Add salt and mix well. 
3. Add water little at a time to make a soft dough.
4. Knead it well and keep it aside for 10 -15 minutes.

5. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly. 

6. Make 5-6 balls and flatten them slightly with your fingers. 

7. Melt the butter and dip the flattened balls on both sides one by one. 

8. Leave them aside for 1 hour.

9. In the meantime, wash and cook the sabut masoor with little salt and with as minimum water as possible. 

10. And let it cool.

11. Heat the oil over medium heat. 

12. Add the onion and fry till transparent. 

13. Add the capsicum and stir and fry for few seconds. 

14. Add the tomato ketchup and fry for a while.

Now we are ready to make the rolls.

17. Take a ball carefully and place it on working surface.

18. With your fingers gently flatten the ball. 

19. With both your hands, spread out the dough as thinly as possible to a round shape as shown in the picture.

20. Place the cooked mixture on one side. 

21. Pull over the shorter end over the mixture as in the picture. 

22. Fold in the adjacent sides of the dough. 

23. Roll the covered mixture over the folded dough till you come almost to the end.

24. Now instead of rolling to the end, pull over the loose end gently by stretching it a little – over the roll and tuck in at the bottom of the roll.

25. Line a baking tray with buttered paper and place the roll on it. 

26. Repeat the same thing for the other balls.
