Gulachi poli

(All ingredients are underlined)

Mix 3 cups of wheat flour, 1 cup maida (all purpose flour), and 1 cup besan. Add 1/4th cup heated oil and 1 tsp ghee (clarified butter) to it. Add water to knead into dough, not very soft but not too dry as well (just like puri dough). Get 2 cups of grated jaggery and to it add 1 tbsp roasted poppy seeds and 1 tsp cardomom powder. Roast besan in a pan with 1/4 th cup oil, till it turns brownish pink. Instead of besan, you can add 1 cup powdered dalia(roasted split chana dal). Add this to the jaggery and knead nicely to get the consistency same as that of the dough. You can use more oil to knead and make it softer. Now make 1 & 1/2 inch balls with the dough as well as the jaggery. Place one jaggery ball between 2 balls of dough and close the edge leaving little gaps in between. Roll it into a thin circle and roast it on a flat griddle (tawa) on both sides. Repeat for all the jaggery and dough balls. Gulachi Poli is ready to serve. Serve it with solidified ghee.
