PuranPoli(Holi Special)

Ingredients:

• For the dough:

• 2 cups of wheat flour

• Water as needed

• A pinch of salt

• 2 tablespoon of oil

  For the stuffing:

• 1 cup of chana dal (Bengal gram lentils)

• 1 .1/4 cup of jaggery (grated)/ sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder

• A pinch of nutmeg powder

• 1 tablespoon of ghee (clarified butter)

  Instructions:

• To make the dough, mix the wheat flour, salt, and oil in a bowl. Gradually add water and knead it into a

• soft dough. Cover and set it aside for at least 30 minutes.

• Wash the chana dal and pressure cook it with water until it becomes soft and tender. Drain the excess

• water and keep the cooked dal aside.

• Heat a pan on medium heat, add ghee, then add the cooked chana dal, jaggery, and cardamom powder.

• Mix well and cook for 10-15 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and sticky.

• Add nutmeg powder and ghee, mix well and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

• Divide the dough and stuffing into equal-sized balls.

• Take one ball of dough and flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin. Place one ball of stuffing in the

• center and wrap the dough around the stuffing. Pinch the edges together to seal the stuffing inside.

• Roll the dough ball gently with a rolling pin to make a flatbread, about 6-7 inches in diameter.

• Heat a tawa or griddle on medium heat. Place the puran poli on the tawa and cook for 1-2 minutes on each

• side until it turns golden brown.

• Apply ghee on both sides of the puran poli while it's still hot. Repeat the same process with the

• remaining dough and stuffing.

• Serve hot with ghee or milk.

• Enjoy your delicious homemade puran poli!
