Gulachi Poli (गुळाची पोळी )

गुळाची पोळी is another Sankranti special dish which is specially made in most of the households in Maharashtra . Most of the ingredients are the same as Til Wadi with few add-on ingredients . I had never tried making gul poli before but this year i really wanted to try them because . I firmly believe in the spirit of festivities and try to make as many dishes as possible . Here is my recipe for गुळाची पोळी :

Ingredients: (For Stuffing)

Grated Jaggery (गुळ)- 1 cup
Roasted Besan (बेसन ) - 1/2 cup
Ground Roasted Sesame Seeds (तिल) - 1/2 cup
Grated Coconut- 1/2 cup
Cardamom Powder- 2 teaspoon
A pinch of Nutmeg (जायफल ) Powder

For Dough:

1 cup Wheat atta
1 cup Maida
Oil -1 tablespoon
Salt to taste

Preparation Time : 30 minutes

Makes: 15-18 polis

Method:

For the dough, mix wheat floor, maida ,oil and salt with water and knead well. Keep it aside.
For the stuffing , add all ingredients in a bowl and mix well
Make equal portions of the dough.
Sprinkle some maida on the rolling board and roll the dough to the size of Puri (पूरी ).
Place a spoonful of the tilgul mixture at the center and close the edges like a Modak so that the filling doesn't come out.
Sprinkle some maida and roll it gently till it becomes like a Chapati.
Heat a griddle and dry roast the gul poli from both sides ,till it turns golden brown.
Put them on a newspaper and let them cool down so that they become crisp.
Serve them with a generous serving of ghee.
