During my
stay in Bangalore
some of my team mates used to bring Puran Poli/jaggery stuffed flatbread as a sweet whenever they come
back from their native. Initially I never liked the taste. Though my husband
loves it very much. So one day I thought of trying that. Well I must say after
some difficulty I could make it. And I enjoyed having them. I checked on
internet and finally decided to make as mentioned below. I could make 9 puran
polis/jaggery stuffed flatbread with this much ingredients.
Ingredients: 9 puran poli were made
with this ingredients
For Dough
1 Cup warm
milk (can be more for kneading)
2.5 Cup
flour
For
Stuffing
1 Cup chana
dal/Bengal gram
1 Cup
jaggery
2
Cardamom’s powder
Ghee for
cooking
Method: For stuffing boil chana dal with ½
cup of water in pressure cooker. Dal should not be cooked very much 2 whistles
are enough. Drain all the water and spread it over paper towel. Let it cool
completely. Once it gets cool on room temperature ground it to powder. MAKE
sure that dal is really cool. Grind jaggery also to a powder and mix that in
this dal powder. To this add cardamom powder as well. Make 9 balls from this
mixture.
Knead a
soft dough with warm water and keep aside for half n hour. After that devide
the dough into 9 equal portions.
Roll out
each dough ball into 3.5 inches of round and put a dal ball in the middle.
Close the dough ball and now roll it into 8-9 inch diameter.
Cook this
on both side until it gets brown. Repeat the same process with rest of the
dough balls. And now Puran Polis are ready to eat J
It was un believable
that I made them and taste was so good. How come I was away of this nice tasteJ. My husband loves it
so much that he had it in dinner-breakfast and again in dinner time:D.
