Total time: 30 min
Yield: 8
Ingredients: For Dough :-; 1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour and 1 and 1/2 cups wheat flour ( or u can directly take 3 cups of wheat flour and no Maida -sometimes I do like that); Oil 1/4 cup; Salt a pinch; Water as requied; For Puran ( sweet stuffing ) :-; 2 cups Chana dal ( split gram dal ); 2 cups Jaggery; cardamom powder 1 tsp; Nutmeg powder 1/4 tsp (optional)

Instructions

Dough preparation :- Gather all ingredients except water listed under For a dough in a plate.
Add water little by little, knead nicely to form a dough. Knead as much as u can. It will give a smooth texture to puranpolis. Dough should not be too stiff or too much soft.
Keep the dough in a bowl, cover with a lid and keep aside.
Preparing Puran :-
Wash chana dal and boil it in a vessel with good amount of water.
Dal should cook well, but dont overcook it.
Just keep a watch on it. Take a dal in a plate. Smash it by finger. If it not get smashed means u have to cook more. As soon as u see its getting smashed by finger, immediately turn of the gas. ( pl see the video below for this step )
Drain all the water from dal. ( Maharashtians prepares Katachi Amti- a spl curry from this water.)
Add jaggery to chana dal and heat the mixture. Jaggery will start to melt. Keep stirring.
Stir till all the liquid evaporates. When u see the mixture gets drying add cardamom and nutmeg powder. Put a ladle straight into mixture and check whether it falls or not. If ladle is firm and not falling means mixture is ready enough to grind.
Above step is explained here with video :-
