I made this for one of my friends Babyshower and the guests really enjoyed it. If you are going to make this my way, please warm it before you eat.
INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE DOUGH:
1. All Purpose flour-1 cup
2. Salt-Accordingly
3. Oil- 2 tbsp
FOR THE PURAN:
1. Channa dhal - 1/2 cup
2. Jaggery- 1/2 cup
3. Saffron - 3-4 strands
4. Cardamom-2 pods
5. Grated cocunut-3-4 tbsp.
6. Ghee - 2 tbsp.
PROCEDURE:
1. Soak the channa dhal in water for 3-4 hours.
2. Pressure cook the channa dhal with less water and wait for 3-4 whistles.
3. Blend them with a hand mixer when they are warm.
4. In a kadai add 2 tbsp of ghee and fry the grated coconut till it turns light brown in colour then add the smashed channa dhal, elaichi powder, saffron and wait till it becomes thick.
5. Turn off the heat and let it come to room temperature.
6. You will see that the puran as it cools off it gets harder, so remember to turn it off when they are semi solid.
7. Make two balls of the dough and flatten them slightly with your palm and place a small ball of puran inside like a sandwich and seal the sides.
8. Then roll it like a roti. Make it as thin as possible. Sometimes the pooran oozes through the side if you stuff them a lot with pooran.
9. Then fry each poli with ghee on both sides.
10. Enjoy them when they are hot. My mouth is watering already!

after a looooong time... We tasted the poli and it's really nice
My favorite!
In Gujarat, we make it with Tur daal instead of Chana daal and use sugar instead of jaggery(gud) and we do not use coconut.
Now I will try your recipe. Thanks.
