Sweet Nuty Poli by Sangeeta on Dec 1, 2011
POLI means chapatti,but when something stuffed inside it it is called PURAN(sweet stuffing) POLI,Traditionally Boiled gram lentil and jaggery,cardamom powder mixture is stuffed inside it,and known as "Puran Poli" in Maharashtra,"Holige" in Karnataka and "Bobbatlu" in Andhra Pradesh.Traditionally refined flour is used for making dough,i used whole wheat flour,if any one is gluten resistance,can replace it with sorgham flour / quinoa flour / oats flour / amarnath flour /buck wheat flour / mix of any of this too.I tried stuffing with pruens,apricots and walnuts.....hope you will like it.
