SWEET POTATO POLI / SHAKARKAND PURAN POLI
INGREDIENTS
- Maida flour – 2 cup
- Melted ghee or oil – 2 or 3 tbsp
- 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 .
- After frying don’t keep one above the other immediately ,let it cool first.
- You can take a mixture of ghee and oil.
- Instead of fresh coconut ,you can use desiccated coconut .
- 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 .
- Instead of maida ,you can use wheat flour or half of each flour .
- You can store it in fridge upto 2 to 3 days. Microwave it when required.
- Instead of jaggery you can use powdered sugar ,mix it with the mashed sweet potato.
