Ingredients list for Tel Poli - SK Khazana

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups split Bengal gram( chana dal)
  • 1/2 cup refined flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespo oil
  • Stuffing
  • 3/4 cup jaggery grated
  • 3/4 teaspoon green cardamom powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • Milk to serve

Method

  1. In a parat, add 1 cup whole wheat flour, refined flour, salt, oil and sufficient water and knead to a soft dough.
    Soak the dough in enough oil for 4-5 hours.
  2. Add chana dal in a pressure cooker, add 2 cups water and cook for 3 whistles and allow the pressure to release completely and drain the excess water.
  3. Heat a non-stick wok, add cooked chana dal, and add jaggery, green cardamom powder, nutmeg powder and salt. Mix well and cook till the mixture thickens. Allow to cool the mixture.
  4. Transfer the mixture in a masher and coarsely mash the prepared stuffing. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into balls.
  5. For making the polis, take a portion of the dough and shape into a ball and place it on a parchment sheet and slightly press it and drizzle a little oil from the same oil that the dough was soaking in. Roll into a small disc, place a stuffing ball in between and bring the sides to the centre and seal. Drizzle a little more oil and roll into a thin disc.
  6. Heat a non-stick tawa, place the prepared disc on it and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side and drizzle with oil and fold from both sides and take the poli off the heat.
    Serve hot with milk.
