1 tablespoon Oil

three quarters cup Organic jaggery

1 teaspoon Cardamom powder

1 cup Wheat flour

half cup Maida

Salt as per taste

Water as per needed

Tips

Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by varying the amount of jaggery.

Ensure the dal is cooked well to achieve a smooth puran texture.

Puranpoli tastes best when served fresh and hot.

Directions

Soak chana dal in water for 3-4 hours. Drain the water.

In a pressure cooker, add soaked dal, 2.5 cups of water, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook for 4 whistles.

Once cooked, strain the dal. Save the dal water for making Katachi Aamti.

In a pan, heat boiled dal and add organic jaggery. Cook until it thickens.

Add cardamom powder and mix well. Grind the mixture in a puran machine or blender until smooth.

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.

Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Divide the dough into small balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle.

Place a portion of the puran filling in the center and seal the edges, flattening it gently.

Roll out the stuffed dough ball into a thin paratha.

Heat a griddle and roast the puranpoli on both sides until golden brown, using a little oil or ghee if desired.

Serve hot with Katachi Aamti or a dollop of ghee.
