Pooranpoli in Marathi

Time: 25 minutes + (35 to 40 minutes to make puran)
Yield: 10 puranpoli


Ingredients:
1 cup Chana Dal
1 cup Jaggery, grated or crushed
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Wheat Flour
7 to 8 tbsp Oil (vegetable or Canola)
1 tsp Cardamom Powder
Rice flour

Method:
1) Wash Chana Dal thoroughly. In the pressure cooker, add 2 and 1/2 cup water (for 1 cup dal) and washed Chana Dal. Switch off gas after 4-5 whistles. Let the pressure cooker cool down.
2) After 25 minutes open the pressure cooker, strain the cooked Chana dal and reserve the water. This water can be used to make 'Katachi Amati'. Remove water completely from dal. Then add this dal into a deep pan. Add jaggery in it and let this mixture cook over medium heat. Jaggery will melt and mixture becomes thin in consistency. keep stirring over medium heat until mixture becomes thick. Add cardamom powder and mix. Don't let the mixture stick to the bottom of pan.
3) Once mixture become thick, remove the pan from heat. Put it through Puran Maker (puran yantra) to get fine quality stuffing.
4) Sift all purpose flour and wheat flour together. Add 5 to 6 tbsp Oil and mix well. Now add water little by little and make smooth consistency dough. Knead the dough until the it becomes very elastic. Put this dough into a bowl and cover it with lid. Let it rest for a couple of hours
5) Make 1 and 1/2 inch balls of the stuffing. Also make 1/2 inch balls of the dough. Grease your fingertips and spread one dough ball gently to a small round disc. put one stuffing ball on it. spread the dough gently over the stuffing with fingers and cover the stuffing. Use dry rice flour to roll the Roti. Heat the tawa, place rolled roti in the center and roast both sides over medium heat.
These rotis stay fresh for approximately 4-8 days at room temperature.
Serve hot with Ghee. Cold puranpoli tastes good with cold milk.

  13. Hey Vaidehi,

    Great recipe, I have had puranpoli many times earlier & always thought of trying it myself. This time I finally did & it came out really well. Thanks.

    I do have few comments though:-

    1. In the ingredients you mentioned cardamom powder but in the method you forgot to mention it at all.

    2. 7 - 8 TBSP of oil seemed too much, I would recommend using not more than 5 TBSP.

    Rest the recipe is great.

  17. Hi Vidya

    you can add sugar along with the jaggery. Just reduce the amount of jaggery, so the puranpoli wont taste too sweet.

  27. Hello
    Thanks for visiting chakali blog and posting comment..There are very less chances of pooranpoli becoming very hard. However here are some tips:
    1) Make very soft dough and use oil while handling it. Roll very gently.
    2) Dont make very thin or thick pooranpolis. Very thin pooranpolis tend to become hard around the edges. Thick pooranpolis may remain uncooked inside.
    3) Stuffing should be smooth without any hard particles of dal. Consistency of stuffing should be soft by not runny. It should get spread till the edges.

  30. Hi
    thanks a lot for all delicious recipes. But i would like to ask how can we grate puran if we do not have puran yantra as i live in USA?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Can u tell how do we see if the puran is right ie not too dry or wet

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thanks for putting the recipe, I used it and used some additions I remember from Mangala Barve's book I have (which is misplaced). Additions were jaifaL at end and little toop, haldi while boiling daal. I made it for Gudhi Padwa with 3 times proportion(plenty of puraN in fridge).

  33. Use a fine mesh big strainer and press the puran through it. It is kind of tedious work. It would be better to buy a Puranyantra from Indian store.

    ReplyDelete
  34. To check the puran consistency, push the spatula (kaltha) vertically. If it stands upward for few seconds, then the puran is ready.

  36. hi

    I am Kavitha Nair just got married... both of us are malayalees born n brought up in Mumbai and both of us are fond of marathi food..i tried to make puran poli but the problem is puran was getting harder ..i think jaggery was more than needed...can u tell me how the puran should be just stuffing it should it be powder form ? and the poli was also stiff not as soft as chappathi..usually the chappathi i make is very soft....pls do reply

    ReplyDelete
  37. Hi Kavitha

    You might have cooked the dal+jaggery mixture little longer than required.
    In the beginning, the mixture becomes thin in consistency and gradually it thickens. Insert the steel spatula vertically in the mixture. When it stays upward for a minute, that means the stuffing is ready. Then do not cook more.
    Also, the maida dough should be very soft and elastic (much softer than regular chapati dough). If the dough is not soft enough, then the puran poli will become hard.

  44. Hi,
    Puran yantra not available in this part of Sydney.. any other option ?
    Thank you,

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hi Anu,

    I use metal mesh (chalani). I put the puran in the chalani in batches and press with steel ladle.
    But chalani should be sturdy. If you use plastic one, it might break.

  46. how to make puran poli very soft & delicate which they say that it can eaten even with lips..

    ReplyDelete
  47. To make puranpoli soft, the dough should be very elastic and very soft. The stuffing should be well-churned and lump free. Also, it shouldn't be very hard or very soft. Try to make the puranpoli thin. If you keep it thick, it won't cook well.

  48. Hey dear, this looks like a very tempting and delicious recipe for holi. How i wish there are available ingredients here in my place so I could try this one. oh well, just let me express my heartfelt holi wishes and greetings to everyone!
