Mom always made poli for Bogi. She used to make puran poli. However, I make surul poli, poli stuffed with coconuts and nuts.Used shredded Coconut, cashews, and brown sugar for filling. All-purpose enriched wheat flour is rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein. Enjoy the delicious and easy to make stuffed poli
