Wish all readers a very Happy Tamil New Year/Happy Vishu

A sweet dish to celebrate the New Year. I made Coconut sweet polis for New year. I omitted the Chana Dhal (bengal Gram) for various reasons. I was making sambar and I don’t want the sweet polis with lentils (chana) too. The other reason, we simply love coconut. The traditional way is to pat the poli in banana leave with oily finger. I didn’t have time and want to cut the calories too…I stuffed and rolled like thin chapatis. The result , it was quick and easy with rolling method.

Dough:

Maida: ½ cup

Atta: ½ cup
Turmeric: a pinch
Salt: ¼ tsp
Water: ½ cup approx

Prepare the dough with enough water and make a soft ball and cover it . Let it rest at least for 1 hour.

Stuffing

Coconut: 1 1/2 cups freshly grated
Jaggery: ¾ cups
Green cardamom: 5 pods

Grind the jaggery and cardamom first and later add the coconut . The coconut should be little coarsely. Take the mixture and fry until it dry and come together. Cool the stuffing.

To make the polis:

Make a small ball from the dough, roll it down . Add some coconut and jaggery mixture in middle and close the edges. Now try to roll it without giving any pressure into desired thickness.

Heat a pan , fry the poli in medium heat. Smear a ghee and enjoy hot the sweet polis.
