Delicious Puranpoli

Puranpoli is a festive Maharashtrian preparation made especially on Holi.
I got this wonderful recipe from Aai's Kitchen website, in this recipe one can make puran in microwave and the puranpoli actually turned out pretty well.
I'm noting down the recipe here for my reference.

Ingredients -
A - For Puran 
1 cup gram dal
1 cup gud or sugar
1 tsp cardamom powder
1 tsp nutmeg powder


B - For dough
1 cup wheat flour
1 tbsp gram flour
1/4 tsp salt 
1/4 cup oil

Method -
A - For making puran
1. Soak gram dal in 2 cups of water in a glass bowl for 1 to 2 hours. Cover bowl with cling film tightly, make two small slits on cling film (to release the excess steam).
2. Microwave first on high power for 5 minutes and then on medium power for 10 to 12 minutes. Stand for 5 minutes and then remove from oven. Cool.
3. Add gud or sugar and make fine paste in mixer. Take the paste in the same bowl.
4. Microwave on high power for 4 minutes, stir and again microwave on high power for 2 to 3 minutes. As the mixture starts becoming dry and bubbles appear on surface of the mixture, stop microwave.
5. Cool the mixture. Add cardamum and nutmeg powders and keep covered.

B - For making dough
1. Add water to flour mixture and make a smooth and slightly loose dough. Keep covered for 30 minutes.
2. Add salt and oil and kneed it well.

C - Making Puranpoli
1. Make 5 or 6 equal portions of puran and dough each. Take one portion of dough and make it flat on the palm, stuff one portion of puran in it and cover with dough from all sides.
2. Make poli with gentle and light rolling. Roast poli on gas stove on hot griddle. Use medium heat and roast on both sides on light golden colour. Serve hot with Saajuk tup (Asli Ghee).
