Author: Hari Chandana P
Cuisine: Indian
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients:
For the Stuffing:
- 1 cup Chana Dal / Split Bengal Gram
- 1 ¼ cup Powdered Jaggery
- 4 tbsp Grated Coconut
- ¼ tsp Cardamom Powder
For the Outer Layer:
- 1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour / Maida
- 5 tbsp Oil
- A big pinch of Turmeric Powder
- A pinch of Salt
- Ghee as needed
- Ghee / Oil for frying the puranpoli
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour, 3 tablespoons of warm oil, turmeric and salt and mix well.
- Then add water little by little and knead into a very soft dough.
- The dough should be loose than the regular chapathi dough.
- Add remaining oil and cover with a lid. Keep it aside for 1 – 2 hours.
- Wash and pressure cook the split bengal gram with just enough water to cover the dal. The dal should be just cooked and hold the shape.
- Turn off the flame. Drain excess water completely. Make sure that there is no water and let it cool down.
- Grind the cooked dal into a powder and set aside.
- Combine the powdered jaggery and little water in a pan. Let the jaggery dissolves completely and bring it to a boil.
- Add the ground chana dal, grated coconut and cardamom powder to it.
- Mix very well and cook until the mixture thickens.
- When the mixture becomes like a dough, turn off the flame.
- Let it cool. Divide the mixture into 11 – 12 round shape balls and set aside.
- Divide the soaked dough into 11 – 12 equal balls.
- Flatten the dough ball with your finger to form a small disc and place the chana dal stuffing ball in the center.
- Bring the edges together and seal it.
- Dust some flour on the board and roll it to a thin round disc.
- Heat a pan / tawa. Place the rolled puran poli on the pan.
- Fry on both sides applying ghee / oil until brown spots appear.
- Repeat the same for rest of the dough and stuffing.
- Serve hot or warm.
