In a bowl, add 1 cup chopped methi leaves, 1 green chili finely chopped, 1/4 inch ginger finely chopped, and 4-5 finely chopped shallots.

Add 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt, 1/3 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper powder, 1/4 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder, and 2 fat pinches of Hing to the bowl.

Mix all the ingredients well by massaging them to release moisture.

Add in 1 cup jowar atta and 1/3 cup raw jackfruit flour to the mixture.

Gradually add 1/2 cup water to form a soft dough of spreadable consistency.

Set the dough aside.

Heat a cast iron pan with 1 tablespoon wood pressed coconut oil.

Add 5 sliced shallots and 2 slit green chilies to the heated oil, along with a sprig of fresh curry leaves.

Stir until the shallots turn light pink or transparent.

Add 1 cup sliced beans, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder, and mix well.

Add a couple of splashes of water, cover, and cook on low flame for a couple of minutes.

After a couple of minutes, open the lid, stir, and allow the beans to roast lightly for about 2 minutes.

Turn off the flame after the beans are lightly roasted.

In a separate pot, mix the cooked dal with 1 tomato, turmeric powder, and salt, and add 1/4 cup water as needed, bringing it to a boil.

In a tawa pan, heat 2 teaspoons wood pressed groundnut oil.

Add 3-4 sliced shallots, 4-5 finely chopped garlic cloves, 1 slit green chili, and 1/4 inch chopped ginger to the oil.

Once heated, add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and let them splatter.

Reduce the flame and add 2 whole red chilies, breaking them into small pieces.

Add the sliced ingredients along with 1/4 teaspoon Hing, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder, stirring well.

Pour this mixture over the dal and sprinkle fresh coriander leaves on top, then cover.

Heat a tawa and grease it with wood pressed sesame oil.

Take a handful of the dough and place it in the center of the tawa, pressing it down lightly.

Dip your fingers in water and spread the dough into a round circle.

Wet a spoon and level the top of the dough, then cover and cook on low flame.

After cooking, carefully flip it over and serve it on a plate with dal, curry, beans, and salad.
