🔸 For the Outer Dough (Poli):
- Wheat flour – 1½ cups
- Plain flour (maida) – ½ cup (optional, for softness)
- Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
- Oil / Ghee – 2 tbsp
- Water – as required (to knead soft dough)
🍲 Method:
1️⃣ Preparing the Filling (Puran):
- Cook the soaked chana dal in a pressure cooker (2 whistles).
- Drain and cool it completely. Save the drained water (can be used for 'Katachi Amti').
- Grind the dal and jaggery together coarsely in a mixer.
- Transfer the mixture to a heavy-bottomed pan and cook on a low flame.
- Once the mix thickens, add nutmeg powder, cardamom powder, salt, and ghee.
- Mix thoroughly and allow it to cool down.
2️⃣ Kneading the Dough:
- Combine wheat flour, maida, turmeric, salt and oil/ghee and knead into a soft dough using water as needed.
- Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3️⃣ Rolling and Roasting:
- Make equal portions of the dough and the puran (filling).
- Roll a dough ball lightly, place the puran in the centre and seal it like a dumpling.
- Gently roll it into a flat round shape.
- Roast on a hot griddle with ghee until golden and crisp on both sides.
🧈 Serving Suggestion:
- Top the hot Puran Poli with a dollop of ghee.
- Serve with Katachi Amti (dal water curry) or warm milk.
✅ Tips:
Grind only when the cooked dal has completely cooled, otherwise the jaggery mixture becomes watery.
Ensure the puran is thick and dry enough for easy rolling.
Use pure ghee for enhanced flavour and aroma.
