½ tsp cardamom powder
Pinch of nutmeg powder
1 tbsp ghee
1½ cups atta (wheat flour) or mix of wheat + maida
Pinch of salt

Instructions
Make the Dough
Knead soft, pliable dough using flour, salt, and water. Add a bit of oil and rest it for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Puran
Boil chana dal until soft but not mushy. Drain and mash/blend.
In a pan, add dal + jaggery. Cook on low till mixture thickens. Add cardamom and nutmeg.
Cool and divide into equal balls.
Assemble the Poli
Take a dough ball, flatten slightly. Place puran in the center, seal edges, and roll gently into thin circles.
Cook with Love
Roast on hot tawa with ghee until golden spots appear on both sides. Press gently for even cooking.
Serve Warm
With a drizzle of ghee, a side of milk, or katachi amti (spiced dal water from boiled chana dal).
