Puran Poli (Vedmi)

Puran Poli

Puran Poli

Puran Poli also known as Vedmi in Gujarat. This sweet Indian flat bread stuffed made with lentil and jaggery stuffing. Puran Poli usually served with dollop of ghee. Puran poli is a very popular in Maharashtra and Gujarat during Holi festival, both states have a different version.

A perfect preparation of Puran Poli is considered a highly-skilled task…an art actually! In Maharashtra, Puran poli made from chana dal (bengal gram) and in Gujarat, made from tuvar dal (pigeon peas lentil). It’s unique flavor and characteristic aroma can be attributed to the special Indian spices like nutmeg, ginger, saffron which are used to make this.

Puran Poli

I have so many memories related to Puran Poli. Actually, I learned making Puran Poli from my granny (Nani). In my mom’s house, we are making Puran Poli on every other occasions like birthday, anniversary, exam result and in festival too like Holi. In short, Puran Poli means granny’s style celebration.

Even we had a funny incident with my hubby. Before our marriage, he used to come to see me at my place on different occasions. Actually I must say he was always looking for opportunities to see me. One time he came to our place to celebrate his birthday.

Now no need to ask, what my granny made for him. Off course, Puran Poli again but it’s first time for him at our place. As usual first off, we severed only 2 Puran Poli with dollop of ghee, and after that he was almost full and didn’t want any more. Unfortunately, my family was not ready to listen and denied his plea. And after that what, my mom, granny served him Puran Poli one by one with full of ghee almost more than 4. Sorry forgot to mention me too… 🙂 OMG…he finished all these even he didn’t want to, just because of family respect and love. But after that he literally slept there within 5 min. I was just shocked, everyone was laughing and it was unbelievable. Nevertheless, it was memorable time.

For Puran/Stuffing

1. Wash dal, pressure cook it into a pressure cooker with required water for 5-6 whistle or 10-12 minutes.
2. Let the pressure cooker cool down and remove the cooked dal from pressure cooker. If cooked dal has more liquid, then drain it and remove the excess water.
3. Now press and mix the dal with spatula and make a smooth paste.
4. Take 1 tbsp ghee in a deep and wide pan. Add the dal mixture, jaggery, and cook it and stir it continuously on medium flame till the mixture becomes thick, it will take about 20-25 minutes.
5. Add dry ginger powder, cardamom powder, mix it well and cook it for few minutes.

Tips:

• You can use sugar instead of jaggery.
• You can use chana dal instead of tuvar dal.
• You can add nutmeg powder and some saffron thread into puran/stuffing to make Puran Poli more delicious and reach in taste.
• If you don’t like the taste of ginger powder then just skip it, it’s not primary.
