How to make Puran Poli

Pressure cook the chana dal with plenty of water until soft but not mushy, about 4 to 5 whistles, then drain well.
Mash the cooked dal finely and cook it with the jaggery on low heat, stirring, until the mixture is thick and no longer sticky.
Stir in the cardamom and nutmeg, then let the filling cool completely.
Mix the wheat flour, maida, salt and 2 tbsp ghee, then knead into a soft dough using water.
Rest the dough for 30 minutes, covered, then knead again briefly.
Divide the dough and filling into equal balls, flatten a dough ball, place a filling ball inside and seal it.
Roll the stuffed ball gently into a thin round poli, dusting with flour only if needed.
Cook the poli on a hot tawa on both sides, then spread ghee or oil on it while hot and serve.

Serves 8 · prep 40 min · cook 45 min. Taste and adjust salt and spice to your family.
