Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut Flour
- 1 cup Arrowroot Starch
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 1.5 cups Hot Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Desiccated Coconut
- 0.75 cup Jaggery (grated or powdered)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg Powder
- 0.5 cup Almond Milk
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (optional, for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, arrowroot starch, and salt.
Add the coconut oil and mix well until it resembles a crumbly texture.
Gradually add the hot water while mixing continuously until the dough comes together. It should be a smooth and pliable dough.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside while you prepare the filling.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add the desiccated coconut, jaggery, almond milk, cardamom powder, and nutmeg powder.
Cook the mixture, stirring continuously until the jaggery melts and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the filling is thick and well combined, remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and flatten each into a small disk using your palms.
Take a portion of the cooled filling and place it in the center of a dough disk. Fold the edges over to encase the filling and seal it.
Gently roll out the filled dough ball into a flat, thin circle, ensuring the filling doesn't spill out.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with ghee or coconut oil.
Place the rolled puran poli on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear.
Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough and filling.
Serve warm and enjoy your paleo puran poli!
