Pooran Poli

Ingredients :
- 300gm channa (yellowgram) dal
- 300 gm jaggery (Gol)
- 1 tsp cardamom powder
- 150 gm plain (Wheat) flour
- 1 tbsp ghee
- warm water to knead dough
- ghee to serve




Method :

- Boil dal in plenty of water till soft but not broken.
- Drain in a colander for 10-15 minutes.
- Pass through a thin grater little by little till all dal is grated.
- Mash jaggery till lumps break. Mix well into dal.
- Put mixture in a heavy saucepan and cook till a soft lump is formed, take care to stir continuously, so as not to charr. Keep aside.
- Mix ghee, flour, add enough water to make a soft pliable dough.
- Take a medium sized ball of dough, roll into a small round. Place same sized ball of filling in centre, stick all round and seal.
- Reroll carefully to a medium round.
- Roast on warm griddle till golden brown. Repeat other side.
- Take on serving plate. Apply a tsp of ghee all over top.
OR
- Shallow fry on griddle like a paratha for a better flavour. But this method will consume more ghee and therefore calories.
- Serve hot with dal.
