Method
Add colour and salt to maida and make a tight dough using required water.Keep it closed in a wet cloth for 4-5 hrs
Pressure cook channa dal and cool
Grind the dal and coconut,not too coarse nor a paste
Add jaggery to this
Put this in a heavy bottomed vessel/kadai and mix till the jaggery is well blended.This is the puran/stuffing
Make this when you make the dough so that it would also cool

This can be done on the chappathi making stone,a plastic sheet or banana leaf,smearing oil as required on your hands
