Notes/Tips

1. Use very light coloured jaggery or it make your puran Poli dark and brown. Taste doesn't affects anyways. 2. Use ghee over oil as ghee helps in digesting lentils easily. 3. Don't add any extra flavourings or colours . Just add little extra cardamom, nutmeg or Turmeric as you need. (Don't try to be Oversmart, as it only ruin your dish.)
