Makes
6 puranpolis
Ingredients
For The Dough
3/4 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
3/4 tsp oil
For The Stuffing
1 tsp ghee
1/2 cup grated paneer (cottage cheese)
3/4 cup freshly grated coconut
2 tbsp mixed nuts (almonds , cahewnuts and pistachio nuts)
3 tbsp powdered sugar
1/4 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder
Other Ingredients
1/4 tsp oil for kneading
whole wheat (gehun) flour
2 tbsp sesame seeds (til)
1 tbsp ghee for cooking
Method
- Combine the wheat flour and ½ tsp of oil in a bowl and knead into a loose dough adding enough water. Cover with a wet muslin cloth and keep aside for 15 minutes.
- Knead again using the remaining ¼ tsp of oil till smooth and keep aside.
- Heat ½ tsp of ghee in a non-stick pan, add the paneer and sauté on a medium flame till all the moisture evaporates and paneer becomes dry. Keep aside to cool.
- Heat the remaining ½ tsp of ghee in the same pan, add the coconut and sauté on a medium flame till it turns light pink in colour. Keep aside to cool.
- Add the paneer, powdered nuts, sugar and cardamom powder and mix well. Divide it into 6 equal portions and keep aside.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll out a portion into a 75 mm (3”) diameter circle using little flour for rolling.
- Place a portion of the stuffing in the centre of the circle, bring the edges in the centre and seal tightly.
- Sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds and roll out again into a 125 mm (5”) diameter circle using a little flour for rolling.
- Cook on a tava (griddle) using ½ tsp of ghee till light brown spots appear on both the sides.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 5 more puranpolis. Serve immediately.
