The Maharashtrian hospitality is legendary. The cuisine has subtle variety and strong flavours and varies from region to region. In ancient times in the more affluent homes, feasts often started at mid-day and ended when the sun set! The presentation of food was alluring with a practice to sing sacred verses to dedicate the meal to God.
Maharashtrian cuisine covers a wide range from being extremely mild to very spicy dishes. Wheat, rice, jowar, vegetables, lentils and fruit form important components of Maharashtrian diet.
Everybody knows about the unbeatable taste of the Mumbai’s chaats! But there is so much more to explore and savour in the other regions of Maharashtra.

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.

Transfer the mixture in a masher and coarsely mash the prepared stuffing. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into balls.
Step 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.
Step 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.
