Puran Poli

As the schools are closed the kids make me very busy . So I am rushing here for the events.Since I have sweet tooth I like all kinds of sweets.Boli or Poli finds a special memory under my heart. It was one Diwali Eve and my sister's first one after marriage.Amma was busy making sweets for the special occasion.She prepared the dough and filling for poli . I got little labor pain. I urged Amma to make Boli as soon as possible ( Since it was the second one I was more confident!!!) and we both started making Bolis quickly. After cooking all the Bolis we rushed to the hospital. So whenever I make Boli I remember those tension moments. Ingredients Maida - 1 cup Oil - 2 tsp water to make dough For Filling Jaggery - 1 cup Channa dal - 3/4 cup Cardamom - 1 tsp Coconut - 2 tblsp Method
