After searching so many sites, atlast came up with a recipe (a kalavai of all sites)
Best ever comment from Sathish : "This is the best Poli i ever had" ..
On hearing this, OMG i was just flying in air. i generally dont like poli bcoz of its sweetness, but when he told like this, i tasted a piece and ate up 1 full immediately.
Herez the recipe
Ingredients
Channa Dal - 1 cup
Jaggery powdered - 3/4 cup
Maida - 2 cup
Ghee - 3 tsp
Oil - 2 tsp
Water - to knead the dough
Water - to cook channa dal (2 cups)
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
cardomom powder - 1/2 tsp
coconut - 3 tsp
Salt - as per taste
Preparation Method
Soak Channa dal for 2 hours
Mix Maida, salt, turmeric powder,ghee well, add water little by little and knead the dough like chappathi dough. Knead well so that it will be soft. Take a tsp of oil in hand and apply over the dough and cover it and set aside for 4 hours
Pressure Cook Channa dal for 2 whistles and once the steam is released, grind in a mixie to a paste/powder. Heat the dal in a pan, add jaggery, once it starts melting add coconut and cardomom, mix well. Allow it to cool. Poornam is ready.
After 4 hours, the maida would be very soft. Knead it once again for a minute and make some 8 balls out of it. Similarly make 8 balls out of the dal poornam.
On top of zip loc cover, add 2 drops of oil, place the dough ball,touch ghee/oil in hand and start pressing the dough to a small circle, place the poornam ball and cover all the sides and now again press the dough and make it a size of a disc. Do teh same for all the dough balls.
Put that in a pan and heat on both sides till light brown and serve hot.
