Notes

Whole Psyllium husk is available at all pharmacies and grocery stores. Its sold in powdered form in India by the name of Isabgol. Because psyllium husk has a good amount of soluble fiber, make sure to drink a lot of water during the day to keep the gut healthy and moving. After draining the soaked dal in colander, make sure all the water has drained. There should be no excess water. Psyllium husk continues to absorb water from the lentils, so after blending, dont let the dough rest. Add vinegar on top of the the baking soda, as soon as the reaction occurs and you see bubbles, start mixing the dough and shape into dinner rolls.
