• Water as required to knead a soft dough
• Salt to taste for dough
• Turmeric pwdr – a pinch
• Sweet potato – 5 or 6 OR 2 cup of mashed sweet potato
• Jaggery grated or chopped – 2 cup [increase or decrease according to the sweetness of sweet potato]
• Freshly grated coconut – ½ cup
• Cardamom pwdr – a pinch OR nutmeg pwdr – a pinch

PREPARATION

1  –  Take the flour + ghee + salt + turmeric in a wide bowl ,mix well and start knead by adding required water .Knead it into a soft and pliable dough, cover  and keep aside for minimum 1 hr to 3 hrs.

2  –  Cook the sweet potato in a  steamer or cooker for 1 – 2  whistle or in a open pan till it becomes soft . [don’t over cook or make it mushy ] Once cooked ,peel the skin and mash it well with a potato masher .[see that there are no lumps ]

3  –  Take the jaggery pieces in a pan with water enough to immerse it.Boil it till the jaggery melts completely .strain it to remove the impurities .

METHOD

Take the jaggery syrup in a pan ,place it on medium flame and add the mashed sweet potato and mix well .

Cook till it becomes thick .

Add the grated coconut + cardamom pwdr , mix well and cook for sometime .

Off the flame and allow it to cool.On cooling it will become more thick .

Make small balls from this mixture .

Take the dough and again knead it for sometime till smooth.

Divide it into equal portions [ little bigger than the size of jaggery balls ] and roll it into smooth balls.

Take a ball and pat it into a small circle with hand as seen in the video below or roll it with a rolling pin .

Place the jaggery ball in the centre and bring the edges together in the centre and pinch it.

Flatten it by patting it with hands OR  keep a foil over it and roll it with a rolling pin OR roll it directly.

Heat a tava ,and carefully place the poli on it .

Fry on both sides till golden spots appear by drizzling oil or ghee and gently pressing it with a spatula.

Once done remove it .

Serve hot or at room temperature .

NOTES .

1. After frying don’t keep one above the other immediately ,let it cool first.
2. You can take a mixture of ghee and oil.
3. Instead of fresh coconut ,you can use desiccated coconut .
4. This recipe is known as Poli in south, in the authentic recipes we add lot of ghee or oil to make the dough – say around ½ cup of ghee or oil for 2 cup of flour ,and after 2 to 3 hrs you will see ghee oozing out of the kneaded dough .I have used this proportion that is why I had to pat it with hands ,else I could have rolled it with rolling pin .Over here while rolling we use more of stuffing and less of dough — that is the dough ball will be smaller than the sweet potato ball .
5. Instead of maida ,you can use wheat flour or half of each flour .
6. You can store it in fridge upto 2 to 3 days. Microwave it when required.
7. Instead of jaggery you can use powdered sugar ,mix it with the mashed sweet potato.
