How to cook Puran Poli?

Combine the flour and oil in a bowl and knead into a soft dough using enough water. Divide the dough into 15 equal portions and keep aside. Dissolve the saffron in a 2 tsp water in a bowl, mix well and keep aside for 15 to 20 minutes. Combine the dal with 1½ cups of water in a presser cooker, mix well and pressure cook for 3 whistles. Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid. Heat the ghee in a broad non-stick pan, add the dal and jaggery, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 10 to 12 minutes or till the mixture thickens, while stirring continuously and mashing at regular intervals. Add the cardamom powder and saffron-water mixture and mix well. Cool slightly and divide it into 15 equal portions. Keep aside. Roll out one portion of the dough into a 100 mm. (4″) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling. Place a portion of the filling in the center and fold the edges of the dough over the filling. Pinch the edges together to seal the filling. Flatten the dough and roll again into a 100 mm. (4″) diameter circle, using a little whole wheat flour for rolling. Cook on a tava over a medium flame, till it turns golden brown in color from both the sides. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling to make 14 more puran polis. Smear a little ghee on each puran poli and serve hot.
