Puran Poli is a popular Indian sweet flatbread made with a sweet lentil filling. It is a traditional Maharashtrian and Gujarati delicacy that is enjoyed during festive occasions and special gatherings. The filling, known as “puran,” is made from cooked and mashed split Bengal gram (chana dal), jaggery (unrefined cane sugar), and aromatic spices like cardamom and nutmeg. The dough for the poli is typically made with whole wheat flour and is rolled out thin before being stuffed with the sweet filling and cooked on a griddle. Puran Poli is known for its soft and melt-in-your-mouth texture and its delightful combination of sweet and spiced flavors. It is often served with a dollop of ghee (clarified butter) and enjoyed warm.
