BM #133 Week 2 Day 2 -
In the Stuffed Dishes series, today's recipe is a very simple one. I regularly used to make Coconut Poli (aka Kobbari Bobbatlu ) as my kids used to like them when they were younger.
One of my cousins gave me an idea to add almond flour to the regular coconut filling and these were just as delightful.
Ingredients -
Almond Flour 1/2 cup
Dried Coconut Powder 1/2 cup
Brown sugar (or jaggery powder) 3/4 cup
Cardamom powder 1/2 tsp
Ghee 2 tsp
Whole Wheat Flour 2 cups
Pinch of salt
Warm water enough to make a dough

To prepare the filling -
Heat a pan on a medium flame and fry the coconut powder in a spoon of ghee.
Add almond flour, sugar/jaggery to it and sprinkle a few drops of water to get a moist mixture. Divide the mixture into 12-14 equal portions and set aside. Make sure the mixture is still warm else it might toughen up.
To prepare the dough -
In a mixing bowl, add the warm water to the wheat flour and knead to make a chapati dough. Cover and set aside.
To prepare the Poli -
Divide the dough into 12-14 equal portions. Spread out each portion, put in a spoonful of the filling and close the edges making sure the filling doesn't spill.
Roll it out into thin circles and cook it on a tawa like a chapati, greasing it with a few drops of ghee on both sides. Remove from heat and continue with the rest of the material.
Serve them warm.
Preparation Time 30-35 minutes
Makes 12-14

This is my favorite kind of poli. Love the use of whole wheat and almond flour in this recipe.
