• Heat a pan and add the channa dhal. Fry it for few seconds. (Don’t allow them to turn brown) Remove from heat and soak it in water for 1 ½ hours.
• After 1 ½ hours heat a pan and add the soaked channa dhal along with the water and cook it. Cook it until it’s soft. Don’t make it mushy.
• Drain the channa dhal. Grind the channa dhal, jaggery, cardamom powder and coconut to a paste. Not necessary it should be fine paste. Then make the puran in to small lemon sized balls. Keep aside.
• Meanwhile make maida dough in to a small balls(Make sure it is bigger than the puran)

• Meanwhile heat a tawa and add the poli in it. Cook both the sides untill golden spots (as you do it for the stuffed chapathi). Then add some ghee and serve hot.

Note:

• While grinding the channa dhal make sure thats drained properly. After grinding if you feel its loose then transfer that to a tawa  heat and mix it. It tightens within few mins.
• You can refridgerate the poli for 2 days.
