coconut puran poli, a delightful Indian sweet treat, is a beloved delicacy, especially during festive seasons. It's a flatbread, made from wheat flour, filled with a luscious mixture of grated coconut and jaggery. The dough is rolled out thin, filled with the sweet coconut mixture, and then carefully cooked on a tawa smothered with ghee. The result is a crispy, golden-brown naariyal puran poli with a soft, sweet filling that melts in your mouth.

The combination of the slightly salty, nutty flavor of the coconut with the sweetness of the jaggery creates a harmonious blend of tastes. The texture is another highlight, with the crisp outer layer contrasting beautifully with the soft, moist filling. While it is festive fare, it can be made any day when you feel like making something special. coconut puran poli is often enjoyed with a cup of hot chai or coffee, making it a perfect indulgence for any occasion.

pro tips for coconut puran poli: 1. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not sticky. 2. Use freshly grated coconut for the best flavor and texture. Drizzle ghee on both sides of the poli while cooking for a richer flavor and crispiness.

Chana dal puranpoli kafi baar banayee aur khayee hai. Lekin kobra dalke pehli baar banaya. Kobra se taste aur bhi nikhar gaya. Par yeh garam-garam khaye tho hi mazza hai.
