Vedhmi (Sweet Stuffed Flatbread)
Puran poli or vedhmi is a sweet version of stuffed chapati from the Gujarat in the Indian subcontinent. It is mainly stuffed with toor dal, but some people use chana dal.
Ingredients
- ½ kg toor dal
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp cardamom powder

Instructions
-
1Wash and boil the toor dal with water and ½ tsp salt until soft.

2Cool slightly and strain the dal using a strainer.

3Add cardamom powder and jaggery to the dal, then grind to make a fine paste. If the paste is sticky, keep it on the heat to dry up completely. This is known as "puran".

5Add oil, and knead the dough again until the oil is absorbed.

6Prepare an equal number of balls from the dough and puran.
-
7Roll out dough balls to make small un-cooked chapati.
