BOLI

Preparation Method :

• Make a dough with the refined flour, salt, turmeric powder, ¼ cup oil and sufficient water. Pour ½ cup oil over the dough. Set aside.
• The Filling: Pressure-cook the Bengal gram dal and the red gram dal. Drain and set it aside. Make sure that the dals are not overcooked.
• Roast the grated coconut and add the powdered jaggery and simmer on low heat till the jaggery melts completely.
• Add the cooked dals and continue to simmer till the mixture blends and thickens. Set aside to cool.
• Grind the filling to a fine paste, adding the powdered cardamoms.
• The Pancakes: Knead the dough to incorporate the oil. Take a small ball of the dough and place it on an oiled plantain leaf and flatten with the hand like a chapatti.
• Place a small amount of filling in the centre. Fold the dough over the filling and flatten once again with the hand.
• Heat a tawa or griddle and fry both sides of the pancake till done, using very little oil.
• Make the remaining pancakes in the same way.
• Serve hot or cold with ghee.
