Easy Hacks and Tips for Making Perfect Maharashtrian Puran Poli
Puran Poli is one of the easiest desserts that you can make with the simplest ingredients like chana dal, flour, and sweetener. But when not made properly, you won’t get the iconic smooth texture in every bite. Here are some easy hacks to perfect your puran poli.
1.Soak Dal Properly
Before cooking comes, you need to soak the dal properly overnight to make sure it cooks well.
2.Add a pinch of salt
Adding salt to the dal while boiling reduces the cooking time and makes the dal cook evenly.
3.Grind the dal filling
Once you’ve cooked boiled dal with jaggery, mash them and grind them to fine paste for a smooth texture.
4.Use warm water for kneading dough
Warm water activates gluten and makes the dough smoother allowing you to fill it effortlessly without breaking.
5.Roll between parchment paper
Roll the puran poli between two parchment paper sheets to prevent sticking on the rolling pin and board.
