Easy Hacks and Tips for Making Perfect Maharashtrian Puran Poli

By Bhavana Verma

Soak Dal Properly

Before cooking comes, you need to soak the dal properly overnight to make sure it cooks well.

Add a pinch of salt

Adding salt to the dal while boiling reduces the cooking time and makes the dal cook evenly.

Grind the dal filling

Once you’ve cooked boiled dal with jaggery, mash them and grind them to fine paste for a smooth texture.

Use warm water for kneading dough

Warm water activates gluten and makes the dough smoother allowing you to fill it effortlessly without breaking.

Roll between parchment paper

Roll the puran poli between two parchment paper sheets to prevent sticking on the rolling pin and board.
