Steps

1

Soak the split chickpeas in water for 4 to 5 hours. Drain, then add the dal, salt, and 1 cup water to a pressure cooker. Cook for 1 whistle. Let cool, then drain any excess water and blend the dal in a mixer until smooth.
2

Heat ghee in a pan. Add ground cardamom and the dal mixture. Stir continuously until the dal is roasted and dry. Let cool.
3

Combine all the flours in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons oil and knead into a dough.
4

Take a small portion of dough and roll it out. Place some dal filling in the center, bring the edges together to seal, and roll out again gently.
5

Heat a griddle (tawa). Cook the puran poli on both sides, brushing with oil, until golden brown. Serve with pickle or chutney.
