Ingredients
For Puran (Filling):
- 1 cup Chana Dal (split Bengal gram)
- 1 cup Jaggery (grated)
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom powder
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp Ghee (clarified butter)
For Poli (Dough):
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour (optional, for softness)
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
- 2 tbsp Oil or Ghee
- Water (for kneading the dough)
- A pinch of salt
DIRECTIONS
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, turmeric powder, salt, and oil.
- Add water gradually and knead into a soft dough.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Filling (Puran)
- Rinse the chana dal and pressure cook it with water until soft (about 3-4 whistles). Drain the water completely.
- Mash the dal or grind it to a fine consistency.
- In a pan, heat ghee and add the mashed dal. Add the grated jaggery and cook on low heat.
- Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan. Add cardamom powder and nutmeg powder.
- Let the puran cool down.
Step 3: Assemble and Cook the Puran Poli
- Divide the dough and filling into equal portions.
- Roll out a small portion of the dough into a small circle.
- Place a portion of the puran in the center and fold the edges of the dough to enclose the filling.
- Gently roll out the stuffed dough into a round shape, like a chapati.
- Heat a tawa (griddle) and cook the puran poli on medium heat. Apply ghee on both sides and cook until golden brown spots appear.
Step 4: Serve
- Serve warm Puran Poli with a dollop of ghee or alongside milk.
NOTES
Few Swaps:
- If you don’t have chana dal, you can use moong dal as an alternative.
- Instead of jaggery, you can use brown sugar or coconut sugar.
For a gluten-free version, replace the whole wheat flour with gluten-free flour. - If you prefer a vegan option, use coconut oil instead of ghee.
- Add a pinch of saffron to the filling for an extra layer of flavor.
