Steps

1To begin making Gul Poli recipe, we will first make the dove to prepare the poli (flat bread). In a large mixing bowl, mix the wheat flour and the all purpose flour along with salt.
2Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a tadka pan. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Pour hot oil in it. Mix well. Add warm water to make a soft dough. Knead the dough well. Keep aside covered with a wet cloth. We will now proceed to make the filling for the Gul Poli.
3Take a mixing bowl.Grate the jaggery in it. Add cardamon powder to it and mix well. Add 2 tablespoon warm water to the mixture and let the jiggery dissolve in water. The mixture should be thick and not watery.
4Heat a pan on medium heat. Add sesame seeds and poppy one by one and dry roast them together for 1 minute. Let the seeds cool. Grind them to a smooth powder and keep aside.
5Heat a pan on medium heat. Add 2 teaspoon ghee in the pan and add the gram flour. Let the gram flour roast on low heat till it changes its color to brown and roasted aroma comes out of it. Turn off the heat, transfer it to a plate and let it cool.
6Add the sesame and poppy seed powder and the roasted gram flour to the jaggery mixture and mix all ingredients well, The stuffing for Gul Poli is now ready.
7The dough is rested well by now. Make a lemon size ball of the dove at a time. sprinkle some flour on the rolling surface. Roll the dough to the size of a poori (3-4 inch diameter circular shape). Place 1 tablespoon filling in the center.Close it by covering the edges at top so that the filling does not come out. The procedure is exactly the same as a stuffed paratha.
8Roll out the ball to a circular shape. The Gul Polis are usually thin and they crisp up after they cool down.
9Meanwhile heat tawa on medium heat. Cook the Gul Poli on both sides till golden brown. Use ghee/oil for cooking both the sides.
10Serve the Gul Poli in a serving plate, top it up with ghee and serve hot as a part of festive meal.
