However, since their exams are now postponed to June, I am back with some amazing recipes for you all. After all good food is a good mood.

What is Puran Poli?

Puran Poli is an Indian Sweet flatbread that is mainly prepared during auspicious occasions like Gudi Padwa, Diwali, Navratri, etc. There are mainly 2 variants of Puran Poli, Gujarati Style and another is Maharashtrian version.

The main difference is the Dal and the sweetener that is used to prepare Puran Poli. For Gujarati Version we use Toor/ Toovar Dal and sugar while to make the Maharashtrian version, we use Chana Dal and Jaggery. In both the recipes, the dough is prepared using wheat flour and cardamom is added in the Puran that is a sweet dal mixture to elevate the flavors.

This pairs well with any sabzis and dals and can be served for lunch and dinner. Try this with Lauki Chana Dal, Vrat Ke Dahi Aloo, Vegetable Korma, and Aloo Paneer for a delicious meal. Kids also relish this recipe as it is sweet and very delicious.

While boiling dal add just enough water so that the dal doesn’t become mushy.
Add sugar as per your taste, also taste the sweetness while preparing the Puran.
Adding Saffron strands will give a nice flavor, however it is not compulsory.
The consistency of the Puran is very important else the stuffing will come out while rolling
