I tried 2 versions of it and both turned out good, but tastewise I prefer roasted gram version of it. Depending on your preference you could use either one of the combos

Roasted Gram Version Ingredients:
* Roasted gram powder < half cup, 3 cups rice floor, chilli powder, asafoetida,
   < 1 spoon salt, 3 spoons ghee or butter, one handful channa dhaal
Urad Dhaal Version Ingredients:
* Roasted urad flour - 1/4 cup, 2 cups rice floor, chilli powder, asafoetida, 3/4 spoon salt,
   white sesame seed 2 spoons, hand crushed jeera - 1 spoon, 6 spoons butter or ghee,
   one handful channa dhaal
Recipe :
* For  both versions, recipe is the same.
* Soak Channa dhaal for one or 2 hrs.
* Mix all the ingredients and make a thick dough using water.
* Make tiny round balls and flatten in a greased plastic bag.
* Deep fry and let it cold and store in tight container.
