Add salt to taste and ensure that the dal is dry. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a kadai and fry chana dal, kishmish, amchur. Adjust salt to taste and fry a little more till every thing is mixed well. Make 12 small balls of the potato mixture and place 1/2 tbsp of the stuffing in each. Shape well and roll in breadcrumbs. Either deep fry or shallow fry on the tawa. Semi fried tikkis will keep (in tins) in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. They freeze well also.
