Puran Poli / ബോളി

Ingredients:

Chana Dal - 1 cup

Sugar - 1 cup

Wheat Flour / Atta - 1 cup

Maida - 1 cup

Cardomom Powder - 1/4 tsp

Ghee - 2 tbsp

Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp + 1/4 tsp

Water as required

Method:

Soak chana dal for 2 hours. Drain and pressure cook for 4-5 whistles. Check if dal is cooked and soft.

Drain excess water and keep aside.

Take wheat flour, maida, salt, turmeric powder in a mixing bowl. Add required water and knead to a smooth dough.

Transfer drained dal to a kadai. Add sugar and cardomom powder.

Cook well till all the sugar dissolves.

Stir continuously so as to not burn the mixture.

The dal mixture will start thickening and starts forming a dough separating from the pan.

Add a tbsp of ghee at this moment.

Let it cool down.

Pulse it in a mixer.

Sieve it through a strainer to break all lumps and get a softer puran dough.

Knead it for a minute to a smooth dough.

Pinch lemon sized balls from both the doughs.

Take atta dough. Flatten it to thick roti with palm or using roller. Place a puran ball and wrap it tightly as possible. Seal the ball. Remove if any extra dough is present on top of the stuffed ball. Repeat for rest of the dough.

Roll it to thin chapathis.
