¼ teaspoon nutmeg powder
For Outer Covering:
2 cups whole wheat flour
4 tbsp ghee or clarified butter
½ tsp salt or as required
¼ tsp turmeric powder
Water as required to knead the dough
Puvi Cold Pressed Mustard Oil
PREPARATION of Puran Poli:
- Rinse the chana dal well and pressure cook it with water for 6 to 7 whistles until well cooked.
- Strain the cooked dal once the pressure settles down.
- Heat Puvi Cold Pressed Mustard Oil in a pan and add ground ginger powder, ground nutmeg powder, ground cardamom powder, and ground fennel powder. Fry for a few seconds on low heat.
- Add the cooked chana dal and jaggery. Stir and cook on low flame until the mixture becomes dry.
- Stir the mixture occasionally until it becomes dry and thick.
- Turn off the flame and let the puran mixture cool. Mash the mixture well with a potato masher or a mixer. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, take whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well.
- Add a little water and ghee to the flour mixture. Knead the dough, adding water as required, until it becomes smooth and soft. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Take a medium-sized ball from the dough and roll it into a 2-3 inch circumference on a dusted rolling board.
- Place a portion of the puran mixture in the center of the rolled dough.
- Bring the edges together towards the center, join them, and pinch to seal.
- Roll out the dough into a circle/poli on a rolling board.
- Heat a tawa or griddle and spread some Puvi Cold Pressed Mustard Oil. Place the rolled poli/dough circle on the tawa and cook from both sides until brown spots appear.
- Once the second side is browned, turn over and apply ghee.
- Serve the puran poli warm or at room temperature with milk, ghee, or curd.
