Puran Poli
Filled with dhal, jaggery, coconut and cardamom, this festive delicacy is sure to brighten up the holiday season in your home!
Ingredients
- ghee (for cooking poli)
- all purpose flour (for dusting and rolling poli)
For filling:
- 1 cup channa dhal
- 2 cups water
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp oil
- ½ cup grated coconut
- ¾ cup jaggery powder (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp cardamom powder
- ¼ tsp dry ginger powder
For dough:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp oil
- ¾ cup water
Instructions
- Add all purpose flour, turmeric powder, salt and oil to a mixing bowl.
- Add water as needed and knead into a soft dough. Cover with a lid and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
- Add washed channa dhal to a pressure cooker. Add water, turmeric powder and oil.
- Cook for 4-5 whistles or until soft. Let the pressure release naturally. If there is too much water in the dhal, strain and set aside.
- Add grated coconut, jaggery powder, cardamom powder, and dry ginger powder to the dhal.
- Cook on medium flame for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Once cool, add the dhal to a blender and blend into a smooth mixture. You should be able to form balls using the filling. If the filling is too loose, transfer to a pan and cook until it thickens. Cool to room temperature.
- Divide the filling into even sized balls and set aside.
- Then, divide the dough into even sized balls.
- Dust flour onto the dough ball and roll into a small disc.
- Place the filling in the center of the disk and seal the dough around the filling.
- Dust some flour over the stuffed ball and roll into a circle.
- Heat a griddle. Once hot, add the rolled poli. Cook until golden brown and flip.
- Spread ghee on top and cook until golden brown. Flip and spread ghee on top.
- Serve hot.
