Puran Poli / Paruppu poli - Tamil New year special

Wishing u and ur family a wonderful and  prosperous new year.May god bless u with abundant wealth and health.This is a very special occasion for us.My mom and MIL will prepare a feast and all our relatives will gather and have fun .Since we are all alone here,I prepared  a simple meal with Tomato sambar,pudalangai poriyal,rasam, puran poli and milagu vadai.I have prepared chana dal filling for the poli.The poli was awsome and was soft too.I have adapted from saras.Give it a try ,u will love it.Will post the recipe for milagu vadai soon.

Recipe Source:
Saras Kitchen

Ingredients:
For Dough
1.All purpose flour / Maida - 11/2 cups
2.sugar - 1tbsp
3.Oil - 1/4 cup
4.Salt - A pinch
5.Food lemon color - As required

For Filling:
1.Channa Dhal - 3/4 cup
2.Jaggery - 1 1/2 cup
3.Ghee - 1 tbsp
4.Cardamom pwdr.

Method:
For the dough:
* Mix all the ingredients ,except oil and prepare a soft and elastic dough.
* Knead it well for atleast 5 minutes.
* Cover the dough with oil and keep it aside for an hour.
* Take the dough and knead it again.
* Divide them into equal sized balls.

  

For the filling:
* Pressure cook the chana dal with 1 cup of water.
* After the whistle is removed,strain the water.smash it well.
( My dal was over cooked,so I took a muslin cloth and squeezed out the excesss moisture.)
* Take a pan ,add jaggery and little water.
* Turn the stove to medium low and let the jaggery get dissolved into the water.
* Filter the jaggery and again mix with smashed chana dal .Add ghee and cook the mixture.
* The moisture in the jaggery- chana dal mix will get reduced ,when we cook it .
* Turn off the stove ,when the mixture curdles like halwa.Add cardamom pwdr.
* Cool completely and divide the mixture into equal sized balls.

Assembling:
* Take the dough- ball,tap it and place the filling inside.
* close and roll it as a thin chapathi.
* Cook it in a tava for 2 minutes ,both sides.
* Apply ghee to both sides and store it.

Note:
We can use any filling for the poli like coconut,dry fruits etc.Adjust the filling according to the dough balls.
