POLI WITH CHANNA DAL POORNAM
But now a days we are so diet conscious and nobody want to stuff themselves with sweets. This recipe yields 11 puran polis and finally i learnt the recipe of making kadalai paruppu poornam from mom , which you have already seen in my MODAKAM -WITH CHANNA DAL POORNAM post. Check out my carrot poli recipe with full Video.
UPDATE: As many readers faced issue while kneading the dough and the amount of oil used. As such the recipe is tried and tested at my home by me and my mom and given with precise measurements. But since i got feedback from readers, i wanted to check it out. Me and my mom tried this few times with the same measurements, and we had mixed results. Final inference is, the quantity of oil depends upon the texture of the flour. So first knead the dough with water and then add 3-4 tblsp of oil on the top of it and cover it and keep aside for 4-5 hours. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused . For the first time in these 8 years of blogging, changing the measurement of the recipe (only the quantity of oil) in the ingredients list. Sorry again.
INGREDIENTS: MAKES 11 POLIS
FOR OUTER DOUGH
MAIDA | ALL PURPOSE FLOUR | 3/4 CUP |
SALT | A PINCH |
TURMERIC POWDER | A PINCH |
OIL | 3-4 TBLSP |
WATER | As needed |
CHANNA DAL |KADALAI PARUPPU | 1/2 CUP |
JAGGERY | 1/3 CUP |
COCONUT ( SCRAPPED) | 1/2 CUP |
CARDAMOM POWDER | A PINCH |
GHEE | 1/2 TSP ( OPTIONAL) |
METHOD FOR MAKING OUTER DOUGH
- Combine the maida, salt and turmeric powder. Add water and start kneading the dough.
- Make it into a slightly loose dough.
- The dough should be soft not too tight.
- Now add 3-4 tblsp of oil on the top and cover the dough..
- Keep it covered for 4-5 hours. The more the time it is kept aside the polis will be softer.
- Dry roast the channa dal for 5 minutes. Take care not to get it burnt.
- Soak it in water for 1/2 an hour.
- Pressure cook till 2-3 whistles. Completely drain the water.
- Let this cool. Once cool, grind this in mixer along with coconut and cardamom powder.
- Grind this smoothly. Add jaggery in the last and pulse once or twice.
- Poornam is done. If you feel the mixture is bit watery, don’t worry. Add ghee in a pan and saute for 5 minutes in a low flame. The poornam will come to the right consistency.
- When it is cool, divide it into 11 equal parts.
Method to make polis
- Divide the dough into 11 equal parts.
- Take a banana leaf , yes banana leaf works out well for polis. If not available use a zip lock, but you have to be careful while transferring it to the tawa., grease the banana leaf and place a portion of the dough on it.
- Spread it with your fingers into a small disc and place the poornam on it.
- Close the edges.
- With your fingers greased generously with sesame oil gently make polis and make it into a disc shaped one.
- Heat a tawa and keep it in a very low flame.
- Slowly transfer the banana leaf onto the tawa and take it out gently.
- Cook on both sides and smear a tsp of ghee and repeat the same for rest of the dough and poornam.
- I have taken video from a mobile as i am not satisfied with the quality of the video.
- Handling phone in one hand while making poli was too tough for me. And amma was bit scared to take the video too.
NOTES:
- Adding oil after making the dough is compulsory. Else polis will be hard and dry.
- The dough should be bit loose, else it will be difficult for you to make polis.
- Let the poornam be stiff , if watery it will come out while making polis.

ReplyDeleteDo you mean to say, we have to knead the maida with oil only?
ReplyDeleteAlmost, if you want to get flaky polis you have add the amount of oil mentioned. If not it will come out hard .
Deletehow long it will stay outside (room temperature) in a airtight container ?
ReplyDeleteThis will stay for a day in room temperature
DeleteThank you for sharing the receipe. I tried it for ugadi, it came out well.
ReplyDeletehai jeya shri madam, how are you? your receipes all of as good. nice explain for beginners. easy to understand for beginners. because, step by step explain for video explain pictures. thanks for your receipes.
ReplyDeleteI hv a doubt, adding the jaggery directly like with out removing the impurities!!! is ok? bks normally jaggery contains impurities!!!
ReplyDeleteHmm true but removing impurities in solid jaggery is not possible and also melting it and filtering the impurities and adding to channa dal mixture will make the poornam watery. So have to look for good quality vellam and make it
DeleteActually 2-3 tsp of warm oil will do.. We can make the dough with water... It will be soft...
DeleteHi jayashree,
ReplyDeleteI have tried some of your recipes and felt great. That's why I tried your poli suggestion of kneading maida with just oil. Worst suggestion. I couldn't stuff the channa dhal. I made fresh maida with water.. It came out well..
Thanks for the message. This practise of kneading in oil is followed in our home for more than 30 years, Don't know where u went wrong.Will update a video of kneading flour sometime
DeleteHi Jeyashri,
DeleteI agree with Vegelicious. I tried kneading the flour with oil and it completely ruined it. I was able to make poli but they were very brittle. I binned the maida and kneaded again with water and with just 2 tablespoons of oil and the result was excellent. Thank you for the recipe anyway.
I will soon try this out again and post with video. As i said my mom generally makes likes this only.
DeleteNot quite sure what I did wrong. I thought I could roll the dough - but it keeps cracking. I have watched my mom make it we can actually pull the balls - they will be so sticky, This one I cannot even pat it and make it into a round.!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeyashri. Even I made the dough using oil only. It was very soft and it kept in breaking while making . Don't know where I went wrong. Very disappointed with the result. Has to make the dough with wheat flour. Was looking forward to get a good result as it is with most of your dishes which I have tried. Plz try and post the video of kneading the dough if u can
ReplyDeleteEven i am wondering why this is happening. Will definitely update it with a video.
DeleteHai jayashri.. In this recipe u mistakenly mentioned or misplaced the quantity of oil and water wrongly.. Pls correct it.
ReplyDeleteHi it is not not written by mistake. the dough has to be made with oil only.
DeleteCan it be stored for a week
ReplyDeleteYou can store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. When you want take it out , either microwave for a minute and serve or heat a pan and reheat this and serve.
DeleteHi Jeyashri instead of maida regular wheat flour roti atta can be used without salt. Also we used to mix Chanadal and jaggery and cook in stove with little bit ghee. If it oozes lot of water I used to put in microwave and then put in mixer. Then fill it into regular atta and make. In Maharashtra it's a popular dish and I happened to live there for a decade so got to know this recepie from friends. I hope it was useful. Again thanks for your recepies it's very useful and here my Boston USA friends are all your fan and we follow your recepies.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the feedback poornima. I have posted the maharastian version of pooran poli too - http://www.jeyashriskitchen.com/2016/04/maharastrian-style-puran-poli-indian.html
DeleteHi Jeyashree, I'm a big fan of your blog. I have tried many of your recipes n it was great in taste. As I live in New Jersey, USA I use aluminum foil to make poli instead of banana leaves. It's safe n easy to make polis.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much nalini - you ca use zip lock too.
DeleteCan we make the poli purnam without coconut? Please guide as Ugadi is on 06/04/2019.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried skipping coconut, you can skip but ensure to make the consistency of the poornam thick. If you are diet conscious you can try dry fruits poli. Check out my recipe.
