Hey friends Hindu happy new year is here or as we call it Gudi Padwa or Ugadi and my kitchen is all set to prepare the famous Indian sweet delicacy called puran poli. So without Ado lets see how to prepare puran poli from scatch at home only on Foodandfun.

Ingredients:

For Dough:

1/2 Cup Maida - All purpose flour

1/2 Wheat flour

2 TBSP Ghee 

2 tsp salt

1 tsp turmeric

For sweet filing or puran:

1 Cup chana dal or pegion peas

1 Cup Jaggery or Gud

1tsp Elaichi crushed

Water to Knead

Ghee to apply on puran poli and rice flour to roll out

Makes 10 puran polis

Here is the video link of the recipe

Lets proceed making the poli mixture:

• Add Wheat and maida
• Add salt , ghee ,  and turmeric mix it well. 
• Now using water knead a soft dough. 
• Once the dough is really soft, take salt and ghee in your palm and then start kneading it with dough nicely till you get the right consistency.  Place a damp cloth over it and keep it aisde.

Lets start preparing puran or the sweet filling:

• Place pressure cooker with enough water to cook and let it boil , once it comes to boil add chana dal. Then add turmeric and oil. 
• Note: Chana dal takes longer time to cook over the normal tur dal which we use for preparing dal tadka. Therefore make sure you wait a little longer and let it whistle more till the chana dal is cooked nicely. 
• Now take a bowl and place a sieve over it. 
• Take out the chana dal and strain the excess water , if any.
• In a large saucepan add cooked chana dal cook and add jaggery and let it melt, mix the mixture well and finally add elaichi powder.
• You can also add nutmeg or jaifal powder , it is optional.
• Once the puran is thick enough , remove it off the flame ,place it again on sieve and start mashing it. We are mashing it because we need a very smooth thick mixture with no chana dal pieces in it as it will tear the puran poli. 
• You can use this technique in case you don't have mixer otherwise you can get this using a mixer or we also get puran poli machine in market.
• Whatever method you use make sure you get a smooth plain mixture without in lumps. Now keep the mixture aside.
• Meanwhile don’t forget to subscribe o my channel and do share this video. Now Lets start preparing puran poli. Take a small round ball of dough , spread it using yiur hands with the help of rice flour and then take similar size puran ball.
• Place it in centre and start covering the puran with dough. Seal the top and roll out puran poli.
• Now take a tawa and let it heat well. Place a rolled out puran poli over it add ghee on both sides and let it cook. Once the one side is brown turn it and cook other side. Puran poli is ready.
• Serve this puran poli hot with ghee or you can also try having it with Aamras , I just love the combination of puran poli and Aamras.

There must be many recipes out there on YouTube but I assure you this is a best method as this aamras maintains the originality of mango flavor lets so how to do it only on FoodandFun

Youtube video

Ingredients:

4 ripe Alphonso mangoes

2 Tbsp Jaggery (depends how much sweet you want)

2 Tsp salt

Water

Make sure you select good ripe mangoes and keep them in water before making the aamras in water for about 20 minutes . This will bring down the heat content and we will get more soft flavor of mango. After 20 minutes start peeling off the mango. 

Peel it and now start cutting them into chunks to see the inside of mango is good and not damaged by any insects. 

Take a bowl of chunks and start squeezing the mango seed to get the entire delicious mango.

Once you are done cleaning the mango seeds and separating the mango pulp. Keep it aside.

Prepare a mixture to enhance the flavour on aarmas. In a bowl take little water , make sure the water is not excess. Add shredded jaggery depending on how much sweet you want aarmas to be and how the mangoes are. Add 2 tsp salt and keep the mixture aside so that jaggery is mixed in water. Here I am not using sugar as it kind of fades the taste and jaggery works best.

Take the mango pulp and mash it maintaining the mango chunks so that w doesn’t lose the originality of mango flavor. Plus it just enhances the flavor or aamras. Meanwhile don’t forget to subscribe to y channel click on the button and turn on bell notification to get notified every Tuesday. Once the pulp is nicely mashed add the jaggery water and mix it well.

It is made in most parts of India and goes by different names like Ghugra, like in Maharashtra we call Karanji, Pedakiya (Bihar) and Nevries (Goa) , Kajikayalu (Andhra). But we will be giving it a interesting HOLI twist. So without much ado , lets proceed with the ingredients. To know how I made it watch the video on youtube the link is as below

 

For Stuffing for Gujiya/Karanji

• Mawa/Khoya (dried milk) - 200 grams (1 cup)
• Suji(semolina) - 50grams (1/4 cup)
• Ghee - 2 tbsp
• Powdered sugar - 200 grams (1 cup)

- How to make Chandrakala Ghujhiya

Let us prepare the filling to be filled in Gujiya/Karanji

• Add ghee in a heavy based utensil and fry Mawa/Khoya till it turns brown (if Mawa/Khoya is fried properly, Gujiya/Karanji last for much long).
• Take out fried Mawa/Khoya in a utensil and let it cool.
• Put Ghee in a frying pan(kadhai), put Sooji/Semolina in Ghee and fry till it turns pink.
• Put fried Sooji in fried Mawa/Khoya along with powdered sugar, cashew nuts, raisins, elaichi , dry grated coconut which we have just fried using ghee for that extra flavor and chironji.
• Mix all the ingredients properly. Stuffing required to fill inside Gujiya/Karanji is ready.

Prepare dough for Gujiya/Karanji- Maida

 

• Sift the flour and keep in a utensil. Melt Ghee, put it in the flour then mix properly with your hand. Knead a hard dough (similar to puri) using warm water.
• Now to give the dough HOLI twist , take out the dough and now lets add food colour to it to make it a colorful sweet HOLI recipe and divide in 4-5 portions depending upon how many colours. Now mix in all the colours by steching it and combining to give a marbeled effect. Don't over mix otherwise we will lose the marble effect.
• Cover the dough with a wet cloth and keep aside for 30 minutes.

Prepare dough for Gujiya/Karanji- Wheat flour and Sooji

• Sift the wheat flour and add sooji and keep in a utensil. Melt Ghee, put it in the flour then mix properly with your hand. Knead a hard dough (similar to puri) using warm water, cover the dough with a wet cloth and keep aside for 30 minutes.

Lets start preparing Gujiya/Karanji

 

• After half an hour press the dough to make it soft, break small pieces of the dough(around 30-40 pieces).
• Roll it like a Puri with a diameter of 2-3 inches. The Puri should be rolled out very thin while preparing other Gujiyas. Roll 10 Puris of this same size and keep on a plate.
• Now place 2 tsp filling on the Puri,apply water on the edges then fold the puri in half
• Press the edges and close the stuffing in between two ends.
• Twist the edges, you need to practice how to  twist, Place this on a plate and cover them with a cloth to prevent them from drying as it takes time to prepare all of them.
• Similarly prepare 2 Gujiya/Karanji and they are ready to be fried.

 

Frying Gujiya

• Heat ghee in a heavy based frying pan(kadhai), put 2 Gujiya that can be fried in the Ghee(in the pan).
• You can also use oil to fry.
• Fry them till they turn brown on a low flame, take out the fried Gujiya/Karanji.
