Puran Poli is a traditional South Indian sweet dish made during festivals. Puran is the sweet lentil filling and Poli is the flat bread. Puran Poli can be made using sugar but I like it with jaggery. The original recipe is from www.vahrehvah.com. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Chana dhal (yellow split pea) - 1 cup
Jaggery - 1 cup
All purpose flour - 11/2 cup
Sooji (optional) - 2 tsp
Turmeric (optional) - a pinch
Cardamom - 5
Salt
Ghee
Oil
Method
Cook the chana dhal in a pressure cooker and drain any excess water. Mash the dhal and add jaggery and cook on a medium flame till the mixture thickens. Add the cardamom powder and divide the mixture into equal balls.
Combine the flour, salt and knead it into a soft dough using little water. Add some oil and make it like chappathi dough. Divide the dough into equal balls and set them aside.
Roll out one of the dough balls into a circle and place one of the filling in the center.
Bring the edges of the dough together to cover the filling.
Flatten the dough and cook it on a griddle over a medium flame till it turns golden brown on both sides.
Smear little ghee on each poli and serve them hot.
