Puran Poli is a beloved traditional dish, but making it at home can be tricky. Here are some common mistakes to avoid for perfect puran polis every time.
1. Making Dough After Preparing the Puran
One common mistake is preparing the dough after making the puran (filling). The dough needs time to soften and set, ideally for more than an hour. If you prepare the dough after the puran, you won't have enough time for the dough to rest, leading to a less-than-perfect puran poli and longer preparation time.
2. Not Using Spices
Skipping spices like cardamom and nutmeg can significantly affect the taste and aroma of your puran poli. These spices are essential for that authentic flavor, so be sure not to omit them.
3. Filling Hot Puran into the Dough
Another mistake is filling hot puran into the dough and immediately making the puran polis. The puran should be cooled down a bit before use, as hot filling can cause the puran polis to break apart.
4. Using Sugar Instead of Jaggery
Using sugar instead of jaggery is a common error. Sugar does not bind the puran well and is not as healthy. Organic jaggery, which is dark brown in color, not only gives a better bind but also imparts a rich, authentic taste to the puran polis. Always use jaggery instead of common sugar for the best results.
These common mistakes can lead to less-than-perfect puran polis. By avoiding them, you can ensure your puran polis are delicious and authentic.
