Parupu poli (Dal Boli)


Poli is one of my favourite sweet.  I like to have this for my breakfast along with the warm milk.  We can make this sweet in two different variation using coconut or dal as a filling.   We can store the poli on room temperature in a air tight container.

Method :

For the dough :

1.   Mix and knead together flour, rice flour, rava (Semolina), salt, turmeric powder, oil and enough water for a soft dough.  Keep it aside for 4 hrs.

For the stuffing :

2.   Pressure cook the channa dal till done.  Drain the water & grind the dal into fine powder or smash it to smooth paste.

3.   Meanwhile dissolve the jaggery in little water and filter it.  Heat little ghee in the pan, add the jaggery water, roasted coconut powder and  grounded channa dal.  Cook the mixture.  Turn off the heat and add cardamom powder.
