Method
To make Puran Poli Stuffing
- Soak bengal gram for 1 hour.
- Once soaked, strain the water. Add some fresh water and cook soaked bengal gram dal until it becomes soft.
- Once cooked, strain the water.
- Take the cooked bengal gram dal in a blender jar along with date syrup and cardamom powder. Blend together.

Jowar Roti Dough for Puran Poli
- Take 1 cup raw groundnuts and blend into a smooth peanut butter.
- Put 1.5 cup water to boil. When it starts boiling, add 1 cup jowar flour, mix well, switch off the stove.
- To the above, mix besan and peanut butter, turmeric powder, flaxseed powder. Knead well to make a smooth dough. The dough should feel slightly oily.
- Pls note, you should be able to make a ball without any breaks. In case it breaks, add a little water and knead again. If it is too sticky, add some flour.
Preparing Jowar Puran Poli
- Dust some flour on your hands and the kitchen counter. Take a ball of dough (small size) and flatten it between your palms.
- Put the flattened ball on the dusted counter. Roll it with a chapati roller into a small roti or bread.
- Now, take 1-2 tsp of stuffing and place it at the centre of the jowar roti.
- Cover the stuffing with the flattened roti, press it well so that stuffing is at the centre and doesn't come out (just like stuffing a parantha).
- Next, roll the stuffed ball, using dry flour. Keep rolling to form a thin roti.
- Heat an iron tava. Should be heated well.
- If required, grease the tava with a drop of oil and then clean it up. This needs to be done only for the first puran poli, to season the tava.
- Once the tava is seasoned and ready, place the roti on the tava and immediately spread some water on the roti - the way oil is generally smeared on paranthas. Do not put too much water.
- Flip over the roti just when the water dries up. Let it cook on the other side. Once done, turn it over once more. Ensure both sides are cooked well.
- Once cooked, let it cool down completely.
- Serve fresh!
