Rinse the chana dal first very well in water. I didn’t soak the chana dal but you can soak the chana dal for 30 minutes to one hour and then drain the water.
- 2
In a pressure cooker, cook the chana dal for 5-6 whistles. the dal need not be cooked completely about 85 to 90% cooked is fine. once the pressure settles down on it's own, strain the cooked dal. keep the dal in the strainer for some minutes so that all the stock is drained. the cooked lentils have to be drained very well. keep the stock aside. this stock can be used for making katachi amti (thin dal)

Heat a pan and add the cooked chana dal and powdered or grated jaggery, Cardamom powder stir and let this puran mixture cook on a low flame till the mixture becomes dry. Keep on stirring at intervals.

Take a medium or large size ball from the dough. roll it 2-3 inches in circumference on a dusted rolling board. Place a portion of puran mixture in the center of the rolled dough.

All the edges and pinch then sprinkle some flour and start rolling the dough.

Make a medium or large circle (poli) as depending upon the size of the dough and puran filling you took. the cover should be rolled a bit thin and not thick.

On a heated tawa or griddle, spread some ghee and place the rolled poli/dough circle on the tawa.

Once the second side gets browned, then turn over and apply ghee. if everything is done properly then puran poli will puff up. make all pooran poli this way and stack them in a casserole or in a kitchen napkin.
