Bengal Gram Split Dumpling
I learned this vegan recipe from a Sri Lankan friend and since then it’s a favorite evening snack at my home. Bengal split gram, also known as channa dal, is a yellow lentil, closely related to chickpea family. It is a major ingredient of Indian vegetarian culinary. It is also cooked with chicken and meat in Pakistani cuisine. Known as a power house of protein and a popular alternative to animal sources of food.

- Chopped Onion 1-2 medium onion (depends how much you want it)
- Ginger paste 1/2 tsp

- Dry whole coriander crushed 1-2 tsp
- Red chilli flakes 1 levelled tsp
- Fresh coriander 2-3 Tbsp
