Purnachi Poli!!
So here goes my rec for Puran Poli;;so many memories are attached to this dish.. where do I start.. may be birthdays..special occasions, My mom always made and still does make these fab poli's...everyone has a different version, but I follow Mum's rec to the T....
you will need
For the Puran;
3 cups Chana Dal
2 cups Gul or Jaggery
1 cup sugar
IN pressure cooker, add the washed dal and 7-8 cups water. Pressure cook for abt 7 whistles. let cool. once cool, strain the dal so that all water is separated and the dal is dry. Once again take this in a cooker and add gul and sugar. on low heat, cook this till the mixture starts leaving sides and starts sticking to the spoon. Keep stirring this from the time you put it on heat. You will reach a point when your arms will talk to you. The mixture will look dry and The spoon if made to stand will stand on it's own....your puran is done...
for the cover;
2 cups Flour/Atta
2 cups All purpose Flour
Generous Oil..and water
Make the dough like regular roti...cover with liberal amount of oil.. keep aside for 2 hrs.
