Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Semolina
- 1 pinch Turmeric powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 4 Green cardamom pods, crushed
- 0.25 teaspoon Saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios
- 4 tablespoons Oil or ghee for cooking
Instructions
Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, semolina, turmeric powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of ghee. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth, soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the milk base: In a deep saucepan, add whole milk and bring it to a simmer. Stir in sweetened condensed milk, sugar, crushed cardamom pods, and saffron strands. Continue to simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly. Keep warm.
Divide the dough: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll them into smooth balls. Flatten each into a thin disc (approximately 6 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin. Dust lightly with flour if needed to prevent sticking.
Cook the poli: Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or ghee. Place one flattened dough disc on the griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining dough discs.
Soak in milk: Once all the poli are cooked, dip each one into the warm milk mixture for 1-2 minutes, ensuring they soak up the flavors.
Garnish and serve: Arrange the soaked poli on a serving plate. Pour any remaining milk mixture over them. Garnish with chopped almonds and pistachios. Serve warm and enjoy!
