These puranpolis are so soft.. It has the perfect sweetness. The filling is delectable. The dry coconut imparts a very nice flavour to this puranpoli. Must give a try..

I have made Puranpoli at many occasions... No matter how promising my personal recipe is... I found this method to be more quick and easy... and also the variation by adding coconut made it even more interesting...
