Paal poli (South Indian special)

Paal Boli is an authentic and traditional dish. Deep fried puri soaked in a tasty milk reduction. Divine is the word. I can eat it all day:-)

INGREDIENTS:

• All- purpose- flour / Maida - 1 cup
• Rava/ Sooji - 1 tbsp
• Salt - pinch
• Oil - 2 tbsp + to grease the baking pan + to grease the rolling board
• Luke warm Water - 1/4 cup

• Evaporated Milk - 1 can
• Condensed milk - 1 tbsp + 1/2 tbsp
• Sugar - 3 tbsp (Adjust avcroding to your taste)

METHOD:

1. In a wide bowl combine Maida, rava, salt, baking powder and mix well. Add 1 tbsp of oil and make crumbs out of the flour. Slowly add water little by little till you get a pliable poori like dough. Add 1 tbsp of oil and knead the dough well. Cover with a damp cloth and let it sit for at least 1 hour
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit and place aluminum foil/ parchment paper on the baking tray and grease it will little oil (As we have already greased the rolling board with oil shouldn't take much oil for greasing)
3. Grease the rolling surface with little oil and roll the dough. I used a small cup and cut into circle.
4. Place it the baking tray and if the top surface is dry brush little oil or use cooking spray. Bake it for 7-10 minutes
5. In a wide pan on medium heat, add evaporated milk, saffron, cardamom powder and salt; cook for 5 minutes.
6. Add condensed milk and sugar, cook for 5-7 minutes; switch off
7. Add the cooked puri to the milk sauce and let it sit for atleast 1 hour. Serve it in room Temperature or chilled with garnishes nuts
