One needs to be very particular about the ingredients they add and keep an eye on the quantity. Let’s find out what it takes to make a perfect puran poli.

Gudi Padwa-Special: How To Make A Perfect Puran Poli:

The very first thing one need to keep in mind is- knead soft and perfect dough. The secret to a perfect puran poli lies in the texture of the dough. Take 2 cups of maida, 2 tablespoon ghee, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup water. Now add ghee and salt to the maida and dry mix together. Then slowly add the water and knead semi-soft dough. Now, wrap the bowl with a plastic sheet or damp cloth and let it rest.

Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing. Take soaked chana dal in a pressure cooker and cook up to 3 to 4 whistles. Then drain the excess water and mash the dal. Now on medium to low flame, add sugar, nutmeg powder, and cardamom powder and continue stirring, until we get a dry stuffing.

Now, make chapatis out of the dough, add a good amount of filling in it, cover the edges and roll it out again. Finally, heat the tawa and cook the puran poli both sides with lots of ghee.
