Paruppu poli, Puran poli recipe, Sweet recipes

Paruppu poli/ Bobbatlu/Puran poli is a delicious flattened stuffed sweet recipe prepared by stuffing dal jaggery mixture in flattened dough and cooked on tawa using ghee. Puran poli is usually prepared during Indian festival but it can be served as evening snack as well. I usually don’t use rolling pin to flatten poli and prefer to do it with fingers and this method of preparation yields softer poli. So lets get to the making!
