Ingredients

• 1 cup Chana dal (split chickpeas)
• 1 cup Jaggery
• 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Ghee
• 0.75 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chana dal thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in enough water for 2 hours.

Step 2

Drain the soaked chana dal and place it in a pressure cooker. Add 2 cups of water and pressure cook for 3 whistles or until the dal is soft.

Step 3

Drain any excess water from the cooked chana dal. Allow it to cool slightly, then grind it to a smooth paste using a food processor.

Step 4

In a saucepan, add the ground chana dal paste and jaggery. Cook on medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.

Step 5

Add cardamom powder, nutmeg powder, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir well and let it cool. This is your puran filling.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 7

Add ghee to the flour mixture and combine. Gradually add water little by little to form a smooth, pliable dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 15 minutes.

Step 8

Divide the dough and puran filling into equal portions. Roll each dough portion into a small ball, flatten it slightly, and place a portion of filling in the center.

Step 9

Bring the edges of the dough together to cover the filling completely, and pinch to seal. Flatten it slightly.

Step 10

On a lightly dusted surface with gluten-free flour, gently roll out each filled ball into a thin disc, about 6-7 inches in diameter.

Step 11

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Place the rolled puran poli on the pan and cook until golden brown spots appear, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Step 12

Brush or drizzle with coconut oil, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat for remaining puran polis.

Step 13

Serve the gluten-free puran poli warm, drizzled with a little more ghee, if desired.
