Puran Poli is soft and flaky flatbreads filled with a sweet lentil mixture and laced with a liberal dose of fragrant ghee. The filling is usually made with chana dal or split Bengal gram cooked with grated jaggery, a kind of unrefined cane sugar that has a deeper flavor than regular sugar. The dough is typically, but not necessarily, made with all-purpose flour or wheat flour.
