There is a special and important ritual of worshiping Lord Ganesha in Hinduism. Ganesha is worshipped as the destroyer of obstacles, and the god of wisdom and prosperity.
It is believed that if Ganesh Puja is done at the beginning of any auspicious work, then all the work is completed without any disturbance or hindrance. This is why everyone respects Bappa a lot. A festival is also celebrated for ten days on Bappa's birthday. This festival begins on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi. On this day people establish Bappa in their homes.
If you have also established Bappa in your house this time, then instead of bringing Prasad from the market for him, prepare the blog yourself. Here we are going to teach you how to make Puran Poli easily so that you can please Bappa by offering this dish prepared at home to him.
Ingredients for making Puran Poli
1 cup gram dal
1 cup jaggery
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
Water
Wheat flour
2 tablespoons oil or ghee
Pinch of turmeric
Pinch of salt
Ghee or oil
Method
To prepare it, you first have to prepare the stuffing. For this, first, soak the gram dal for 2-3 hours. Now put the soaked lentils in a pressure cooker add water to it and cook for 3-4 whistles. When the lentils are completely cooked, strain them and remove the water. Now put this lentil in a mixer and grind it coarsely.
After grinding the lentils, put this lentil and jaggery in a pan. Cook it on medium flame until the jaggery melts and the mixture thickens. Finally, add cardamom powder to enhance the taste. After the stuffing is ready, you have to prepare its dough. For this, first of all, put wheat flour, oil or ghee, and a pinch of salt in a vessel. Knead it softly and keep it aside for 30 minutes.
After this, you have to start preparing Puran Poli. For this, make small balls of dough. Roll each ball and give it the shape of a small puri. Place a mixture of gram dal and jaggery in the middle.
Close the dough from all sides and then roll it lightly to make a thin poli. Heat the pan and bake the Puran Poli from both sides until it becomes light golden and crispy. Take ghee with Puran Poli and offer it to Bappa.
