Knead to a smooth dough. Divide the dough into 10 parts and shape
them into round balls. Drop these balls in the boiling dal, reduce
heat. Cook for 25 minutes then remove the cooked flour balls one by
one from the dal. Place the cooked flour flour balls in a greased
baking dish. Bake in a preheat oven 375F (190 C/ gas mark 5) until
the skin of the balls begins to crack and the colour turns light
brown. Place them in a dish and press each of them in the centre with
your thumb. Break lightly and put 1 or 2 tsp ghee in each bafla. Can
be eaten without ghee too.

Heat 3 Tbsp oil in a pan. Fry remaining half of onions until lightly
broened. Pour cooked dal. Stir well. Let it boil 2-3 times. Remove
from heat and sprinkle with chopped coriander. Serve baflas with dal.

Note: Dal (beans) should be poured over the baflas, breaking them
completely. Other vegetable dishes or chutney can be served with it
also.

The History of Recipes

Written recipes as an idea can be observed way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.

Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, fennel and dill.

Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for a surge in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private libraries.

When we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications were in great demand, due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more money.
