    5 shares

     

    Ingredients :
    • Grated Pumpkin : 3 cups
    • Powdered Jaggery : 1 to 1.5 cups
    • Maida : ¾ cup
    • Cardamom Powder : 1 tsp
    • Ghee

    Method :
    Stuffing :
    Take a heavy bottomed pan and fry the grated pumpkin with a tablespoon
    of ghee for 5 minutes. Now add the powdered jaggery to it and mix well. Allow
    the jaggery to melt and cook on a medium flame till it becomes thick.
    When the mixture starts thickening, add the cardamom powder and stir
    well. When the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan, remove from
    the heat. Allow it to cool and roll into a round shape balls.
    Dough :
    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and little ghee
    and mix thoroughly. Add water and make into a smooth dough just like
    our chapathi dough. Cover the dough with a lid and set aside for 1 hour.
    Divide the dough into equal size balls and set aside.
    Making Poli : 

    Take a ball of the dough and roll a little and
    place the pumpkin mixture in the middle and cover it from all sides
    towards the middle and press. Dust the platform with flour and roll out
    carefully into a round roti. Heat a tawa, sprinkle little ghee and cook
    the stuffed poli on both sides until brown spots appear. Serve warm.
