I think I jumped the gun a bit when posting my previous comment…. I posted it before I actually rolled them out and fried them. I was not able to roll them out to 5″ as suggested in your recipe as the filling started to ooze out from the sides. I managed to roll them out to about 3″. Please tell what did I do wrong!!! I used the chana dal filling.
Yolanda, the only thing I can think dough was hard or filling was too moist. next time make sure dough is soft.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made it today and it turned out great!
Dear Madam, You have been helping community by publishing traditional recipes, appreciate it. Please let me know if Puran poli can be cooked without using maida
Hi Aunty,
I made Puran poli’s for the first time and they turned out . All thanks to you. But I wanted to ask is it possible to store the mixture and then use it later. Coz I dont have time to use the whole mixture . Thanks
Dimple, You can refrigerate the filling for about 2 weeks.
Aunty, This is really awesome. I tried that too and blogged. You rock !

Hello Mam,
Just wanted to know which puran is better, one made of chana dal or one made of arhar dal. I have tried Chana puran and found that to be good… Don’t know about Arhaar one..
Regards, Vidisha
Hi. The chana daal puran is a maharashtrian recipe and is bit dry and thin. The toor daal recipe is gujarati recipe which has a bit wet stuffing and is made thicker than the chana daal one. And yes actually we male it with jaggery also. It also tastes good
Hello mam. I love ur recipes, I wanted to know if there are reciepe books available I would love to buy them, as I’m gettin married into a family where no onion and garlic is allowed. So please do let me know. Thank you
I checked few recepies and looks great….!!
I showed the videos to my house help and he enjoyed learning them. It made the recepies simple and you get to know few basic techniques of good cooking.
The best part is ..it is pure vegeterian. I am also from a Jain family who don’t eat Onion and Garlic.
Hi…I tried Puran Poli…and my husband loved it…the only difference was I used pressure cooker. Also my puran was not very dry to make balls so I kept it in freezer for 10 mins…and everythg went perfect….Thanks Aunty..Love your recipes!!!
Hi aunty, I am in Netherlands mam and tried ur reciepes like Puranpoli, chana masala ,carrot halwa and gulgula.Really superb mam and my husband liked those. Regards Saranya
I have a party at my house coming up in a fortnight. I am wondering if I can make a large quantities of puran polis in advance and keep it in the fridge. My question is: Will the polis stick together and break if I take it out on the day of the party? Please let me know. If yes, how can I prevent from polis sticking together. Thanks
Kamala Place a wax paper in between Puran Poli.

Hello Aunty,
thanks for all wonderful recipes. i tried puran poli, it was awesome. i also tried ras malai. thank you so much.
Aunty – When you cook the Puran Poli on the skillet, do you recommend using Ghee?
love indian food and this methi thepla is awesome i love to cook and i am interested in indian food alot….i am from pakistan, abbottabad
Aunty can you please tell me the size of your measurement cup..my 1cup says 240ml..please confirm..
hai, its really good,,,,, almost all ur recipies are good,,,,,,,thank you but in puran polis instead of sugar can i use brown sugar(ghud)? if yes how can it b used ? kindly reply
Sumiya, You can use Brown sugar first try it same quantity if needed add more.
ok maam,,,,,, thank you
Very Nice but this is not a snack . It’s for lunch or dinner .Puranpoli is the main in lunch or dinner as a roti.
In North India Roti/Parntha is taken as breakfast also, this is a sweet parantha!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the puran poli video, I will definitely try your recipe this weekend.
On another note, I tried methi theplas , and they turned out so good. I love your cooking website..
Hello Aunty,
I like all of your recipes… Just want to know what type and brand of Tawa are you using? Thanks
Hi, thank you for this recipes. this is mummy food.
Really it is very nice. Even I was thinking it is very difficult to make puran poli. thank you for the tips also.
Can we make pooranpoli and keep it in refregerator or freezer for some days?
aunty what is toor dal coz i’m from sri lanka
Tuvaram paruppu in Tamil. They are sometimes called Pigeon Peas, and come dry or oily.
thanx
Very good recipe and so well explained. I always thought puran poli was very difficult to make. You make it seem so simple. In Maharashtra, chana dal and jaggery are used for the filling. I like the filling of tur dal and sugar too.
hi aunty,
recipe looks so yummy..can we use the pressure cooker to cook the dhal? it will safe time..
Krithiga, Yes you can use pressure cooker.
Thank you Manjula for this bread recipe. This looks very good and I know it must taste great. Is it okay to put raisins, crushed nuts, dates, and cinnamon in the filling or will these items alter the your recipe too much? My wife and I enjoy your recipes so much. Thanks
Dennis, In this recipe any thing you add has to be powdery or mushy blend in with filling well otherwise will not be able to role the Puran Poli.
Hi Aunty I thought the filling for Puran Poli’s were made with chana dal & Jaggrey. Never heard of Toor Dal & sugar for filling. Kindly clarify? Will try your method too. Thank you for your time and response, Jayashree
Puran poli is normally made with jaggary. I think she has done her version with sugar to make it easier for people who can’t buy jaggary where they live.
And this looks so yummy n filling..My fav fav dessert til date…craving for one poli now manjula aunty…and congrats to the April winners…
