Every year during ganesh chaturti my friend prepares this puran poli along with modakam, ukadiche modak or ulundhu poorana kozhukattai, kheer,besan ladoo, vadai.Last I was craving this puran poli and made immediately.Usually paruppu poli is made with all purpose flour or maida. I am making sincere efforts to eliminate maida from our diet these days. So I tried out this puran poli with whole wheat flour. I was really skeptical about the results though. For puran poli or paruppu poli the dough should really soft andflexible. We should be able to pat the dough really thin on banana leaf to get soft polis. I was really successful in making super soft puran poli with wheat flour I should say. We really did not feel any difference in texture. I kneaded the dough very soft and added 1 tablespoon extra oil to the dough. Making puran poli is really easy just we need some time in hand.

To make puran poli stuffing or filling we need channa dal, grated coconut and jaggery. I use 1: 1 ratio of grated coconut and channa dal. Jaggery can be added to taste. I usually add a little less than 3/4 cup as we like it slightly on the side. You can add anywhere from 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup jaggery. This puran poli with whole wheat flour is a good wholesome meal for toddlers and kids.

Serve puran poli as snack.
