Sweet Poli

Those were the days when i used to go to Tnagar Sri Krishna Sweets just to have sweet poli.... Now that I'm too far away from Home town... i missed sweet poli a lot... But not anymore ..:) i did nt know it was this easy and can be made at no time at Home ...!!!!...Its very easy, delicious and quenching..that i sometimes have them for breakfast or even lunch...

I'm extremely sorry for the photo quality and quantity ...coz, the minute the poli comes hot out of the pan....it gets over within 5 mins... I had to literally hide these two pieces to click a snap of it... And what you see in the snap happened to be my share :(( Just two left... I could nt wait any longer to relish my share of the precious and delicious poli.

Here's your chance to enjoy it too....Dont miss it..Try it out and enjoy.

Delicious sweet right at your kitchen ..you dont have to go to a sweet stall for this anymore ...:)))))))

For Sweet Poli:
Poornam:Boil channa-dal until half-cooked and drain the water.

Pat dry the dal and keep aside. Add jaggery, cardamom and grind.

Make it thick by heating in low heat for a little while. (Dont add water...the jaggery will have enough water to bring it to the right consistency. Right for it to be made into balls)

Make this into round balls.
Outer Layer :Add a pinch of turmeric and salt to All purpose flour (maida ) and knead it by adding a few tsp of sesame oil and keep aside for at least 10 mins.

Pat/Roll it on a plastic sheet or banana leaf into round flat shape.

Place a ball of poornam in the centre and cover it with the dough.
Pat it again, like a chapati. Heat a pan/griddle, put the poli and add a spoon of ghee around it.

Turn over until both sides are cooked well.

Tips:

1. Adding turmeric powder gives a nice yellow color to the poli....
2. Do not add extra water.
3. Adding grated coconut to the poornam enriches the taste more..
4. Eat or refrigerate within 2 to 3 days..
