Here is a breakfast recipe that is easy to prepare and delicious to eat.
Ingredients
-
- 1 cup chana dal
- 1 cup jaggery
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
- Water as needed
- Salt as needed
Instructions:
- To make the filling for the Puran Poli, first rinse the chana dal thoroughly and soak it in water for at least 2 hours.
- After soaking, drain the water and pressure cook the chana dal with 2 cups of water, turmeric powder, and salt for 4-5 whistles on medium heat. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool down.
- Once cooled, transfer the cooked chana dal into a blender and blend it into a smooth paste. Keep the paste aside.
- Next, take a pan and add jaggery and 1/4 cup of water. Heat the mixture on medium heat until the jaggery melts and becomes a syrupy consistency.
- Add the chana dal paste to the jaggery syrup and mix well. Cook the mixture on low heat until it thickens and forms a sticky mass. Add cardamom powder and mix well. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool.
- To make the dough for the Puran Poli, take a mixing bowl and add wheat flour, salt, and ghee. Mix well. Add water little by little and knead it into a soft and smooth dough.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, divide the dough into small equal-sized balls and the filling into small balls as well.
- Take a dough ball and roll it into a small circle with a rolling pin. Place a filling ball in the center and seal the edges of the dough ball, making sure the filling is completely enclosed.
- Flatten the dough ball and dust it with wheat flour. Roll it out into a thin circle, around 6-7 inches in diameter.
- Heat a griddle or tawa on medium heat and place the rolled-out Puran Poli on it. Cook it on both sides until it turns golden brown and has brown spots on it. Spread ghee on both sides while cooking.
- Once done, remove from heat and serve hot with ghee or milk.
Tips
- Make sure the chana dal is soaked well before cooking.
- Adding turmeric powder gives a nice color to the filling.
- You can adjust the amount of jaggery according to your taste preference.
- The dough should be soft and smooth for easy rolling.
- Make sure to dust the dough ball with flour before rolling it out to prevent sticking.
- Spread ghee on both sides while cooking to get a soft and flavorful Puran Poli.
- You can also add a pinch of nutmeg powder to the filling for added flavor.
