Instructions
 

Prepare the Fig Filling

  • Soak the dried figs in warm water for 30 minutes to soften. Drain well and blend into a smooth paste using a food processor or blender.

Cook the Filling

  • Heat 3 tablespoons of ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add the almond powder and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fig paste and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
  • Stir in the sugar and cook for another minute until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.

Make the Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of ghee. Mix well using your fingertips to incorporate the ghee into the flour. Gradually add milk, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes.

Assemble and Cook the Puran Poli

  • Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of the cooled almond and fig filling in the center. Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, and then gently roll it into a slightly flattened circle.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or flat pan over medium heat. Cook the puran poli for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Brush with ghee while cooking for added richness and flavor. Serve hot.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Almond & Fig Puran Poli

  • For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of cardamom powder to the fig filling.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Don't overfill the puran poli; otherwise, the filling might leak during cooking.
  • Serve warm with a dollop of ghee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in textures and temperatures.
