Puran Poli is a popular sweet snack item. This is one snack me & hubby love to carry with us whenever we are going on a long ride :-)
Ingredients For the puran/ stuffing
1 cup channa dal
1 cup jaggery
1 tsp cardamom powder
For the dough cover
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
pinch of salt
water to knead dough
Method
For the puran
- Soak the channa dal for about 1-2 hours. Pressure cook the dal until nicely cooked. Drain the water.
- Mash the dal fine. Add grated jaggery. Cook on low heat until the mixture is well combined & all the moisture evaporates. Add cardamom powder & switch off flame. Let it cool.
- Once cool, make into small lime sized balls. Set aside
For the Dough cover
- Mix the flours & salt and knead into a soft dough. Make lime sized balls of this dough as well.
For the polis
- Take one dough ball, flatten it with palms, stuff the puran ball & seal the edges of the dough ball.
- Roll it slowly into thin rounds. Cook on hot tawa on both the sides. Apply a little oil/ ghee.
Serve hot/cold. Enjoy!!
