Puran Poli

Ingredients:

2 cups. bengal gram (channa dal)
2 cups. jaggery
1 tsp. cardamom powder
1 cup. plain flour (all-purpose)
1 tbsp. ghee
1 tbsp. oil for brushing
Warm water to knead dough
Ghee or oil for shallow fry

Method:

1.Boil bengal gram in water till soft and drain. Mash jaggery till lumps break, mix well into dal.
2.Put mixture in a heavy based saucepan and cook till a soft lump is formed.(Whenever my purnam becomes soft, I transfer my mixture to a microwaveable bowl and cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes with out lid. This makes the purnam dry and easy to roll as round balls.)
3.Add cardamom powder and grind the mixture to a thick paste. Keep aside.
Mix ghee, flour, add enough water to make a soft dough. Brush with a oil and knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth.
Cover with a lid and set aside for 1 hour.
4.Take a small sized ball of dough, roll into a small round. Place same sized ball of sweet mix in the centre and seal.
5.Reroll carefully to a medium sized round rotis. Heat an iron griddle over medium heat.
6.Shallow fry on griddle like a paratha adding ghee or oil on both sides. Roast till golden brown.
Serve hot.
