Dear friends,

    Today I am here with another famous delicacy of Maharashtra(India), Puran Poli. The famous delicacy; is specially made by the Marathi during the Gudi padwa and Holi festival. This dessert is also famous apart from Maharashtra in Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu. But the stuffing and ingredients of the delicacy are different. This dish is one of the old dishes mentioned in a 12th-century Sanskrit concordance collected by SomeshvaraIII, who conducted from present-day Karnataka.

    So friends, let's start making Puran Poli.


Ingredients:-


For the outer dough-

  1. Whole wheat flour- 2cups.(you can mix all-purpose flour also)
  2. Clarified butter- 4tbsp.
  3. Salt- 3/4tsp.

For the Puran Poli Filling:-

  1. Jaggery- 1cup(grated/powdered).
  2. Split Bengal Gram- 1cup.
  3. Saffron- A pinch.
  4. Fennel powder-3/4tsp.
  5. Dry ginger powder- 1tsp.
  6. Cardamom powder-1/2tsp.
  7. Nutmeg powder- A pinch.
  8. Clarified butter- 2-1/2 tsp.

Other Ingredients:- 


Oil- As required(for shallow fry Puran Poli).


Preparation Method:-


Step 1- First, rinse and soak the gram lentil in a bowl for 30 minutes.


Step 2- Next, take another mixing bowl. Add whole wheat flour, salt, and ghee(clarified butter) 4tbsp. Mix well, add little by little water and knead to form a smooth dough. Set aside for 30 minutes.


Step 3- In a pressure cooker, add soaked lentil after 30 minutes. Cook for 7-8 whistles(depend on the quality of the lentil). If the quality of the lentil is good, then reduce the number of whistles.


Step 4- Once the lentil is cooked, strain well. Mash the lentil with a masher, or you can coarsely grind them.


Step 5- Place a non-stick pan on medium flame. Add 2-1/2 of ghee. Once ghee starts melting, lower the flame. Now, add cardamom powder, fennel powder, dry ginger powder, nutmeg powder. Saute for few seconds. 


Step 6- Next, add coarsely grounded boiled gram lentil. Mix well with spices. 


Step 7- Now, add grated jaggery. Stir and combine all ingredients with lentil. Add saffron and mix again.


Step 8- Cook the stuffing of Puran Poli until it becomes dry. Turn off the flame once you get the proper texture. Once the mixture cools down again, mash the mixture with the help of a masher. Now, the stuffing is ready.


Step 9- Take a portion of dough, Flat the dough with your palm. Now, place a portion of stuffing between the dough. Cover the stuffing and close the edge.


Step 10- Sprinkle some flour on the rolling board. And roll the dough to get 4-5 inch flatbread. Follow the same for the remaining dough and stuffing.


Step 11- Place a Tawa(flat pan) on medium heat. Add ghee; once ghee starts melting, spread it all over the Tawa with a spatula. 


Step 12- Now, place a Puran Poli on the Tawa. Once the lower side gets some browned spots, turn the Puran Poli and cook another side. Press the edges so that Puran Poli is cooked evenly.


Step 13- Apply more ghee once both sides cook once. Press little so that Puran poli puffed up. Transfer the Puran poli to a serving plate once it becomes golden. Follow the same process for the remaining polis.


Step 14- Now, Puran poli is ready to serve with milk.
