Paruppu Purana Poli
Paruppu Purana Poli (Puran Poli) is a traditional sweet dish prepared during festivals like Bogi and Avani Avittam. Apart from festivals, I used to make this yummy sweet dish often because my first Grand daughter likes it so much. It is always a pleasure to make for our kids especially when they like it so much. Many of us think doing Poli is a very tough task, but believe me if we enjoy and do it, then I bet, it is very simple and very scrumptious too. A very soft and delicious sweet dish. In my mom-in-law’s native, for events like marriages they serve the purana poli and add generous amount of ghee as topping and also serve payasam on top of it.

By adding turmeric powder won't it give a different tastesmell? Kesari powder would sound better.
instead of maida, can we use any other flour? ur suggestion pls.
Hello, you can use wheat flour instead of maida. But traditional preparation involves maida only but nowadays health concious people replace maida with wheat flour
As per traditional Maharashtrian, you can use wheat flour but there is chance that it can get tear apart while rolling or roasting. So have to be bit careful.
Hi Mami. I roll my poli using rolling pin and would come out very thin
Oh Mami. It looks so delicious. I thought you would have a selling point or portal for this.
Hi Mami, It came very delicious – One thing I faced is, once I added jaggery to the mixer, the whole chana dhal/coconut mix became very liquid – so, I actually did the mixing manually – Is there something that must take care while doing this in the mixie. Anyhow, the poli came out too good. Thanks.
I did not have that problem. The whole mixture just became firm after grinding with jaggery. I think the water content in the cooked chana dal is something to check. The chana dal should be cooked but not mushy and watery.
Thanks for all your recipes..You can add the mixture with few drops of ghee in the pan and cook it for few minutes and it will dry up all the liquid and it will give nice taste to the poli and it won't spoil too since you are cooking the pooranam..
Mami will try for avani avittam
