Drain the cooked chana dal and grind it in a mixie along with jaggery, cardamom powder and salt. Grind to a smooth paste. Try not to add extra water while grinding. Transfer the ground mixture to a pan and fry for 5 minutes to take out the excess moisture. Set aside to cool. Make small lime sized balls out of the mixture and set aside on a plate.
