Coconut Poli

Cooks in: 20 Minutes Serves: 2 People

Poli is generally prepared during festive season. Cooked chana dal and coconut mixed with jaggery is the common stuffing used for this dish. I used coconut poornam to make the dish simple.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Jowar Flour
• 1 Cup Water
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 1/4 Tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1 Tsp Oil

Stuffing:

• 1/2 Cup Grated Coconut
• 1/2 Cup Jaggery powder
• 1/4 Tsp Cardamom Powder
• 1 Tsp ghee

Directions:

1. Make Autolysis dough with water, salt and oil. Please refer my millet roti post for a detailed recipe on autolysis dough.
2. In a pan add a tablespoon of water and jaggery powder. Heat till thick syrup. Add cardamom powder and grated coconut. Cook on medium flame till everything becomes a mass. Add ghee, mix well and keep aside. Poornam ready.
3. Make 2 rotis of same size with the dough. On one roti, spread the poornam leaving 1/4'' on the edges. Apply water with a finger on the edges.
4. Cover with other roti seal the edges so that the stuffing doesn't come out.
5. Cook both sides of the stuffed polis with ghee/coconut oil on a tawa on medium heat.
6. Awesome coconut polis ready!
