Instructions
To Make Puran/Chana Dal Stuffing:
- In a large bowl, soak 1½ cup chana dal for 1 hour. Drain water and transfer chana to a pressure cooker.
- Add turmeric, ghee, and water. Cover the pressure cooker and cook for 9 minutes or 3 whistles on medium flame. Drain the water.
- Transfer dal to a thick bottom pan or kadai on medium low heat. Add jaggery and mix well. Once jaggery melts, start mashing dal until it turns into a smooth paste. Keep cooking until mixture thickens and holds shape.
- Add ghee and cardamom powder and cook for 1 minute, or until mixture doesn't stick to the pan. If the mixture is undercooked stuffing will be sticky and is difficult to mold into a ball.
- Transfer mixture to a plate and cool for 3 minutes. Grease hands with ghee and shape dal into balls. Set aside.
To Prepare Poli (outer covering):
- In a large bowl, add flour, maida, and turmeric. Add 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt. Mix until ingredients are combined.
- Add water as needed and start to knead the dough. Work the dough until smooth and soft. Add water in small batches.
- Grease the dough with 2 teaspoons of oil, cover, and rest for at least 1 hour.
- Punch and knead dough. Pinch a small portion and make a smooth ball. form a cup by pressing dough from the sides. Place a ball sized puran or dal stuffing.
- start to stuff dal inside by pulling the dough over it. Seal dough without cracks.
- Dust the ball with maida and flatten slightly. Now roll dough gently as thin as possible.
- Cook puran poli on a hot pan with ghee or tawa on medium heat. Flip over once the first side is half cooked. Puff the puran poli and cook uniformly.
- Serve with a glass of milk. Enjoy.
