Puran Poli Tart with Coconut

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the chana dal thoroughly and cook it in a pressure cooker with enough water until it becomes soft. Drain any excess water.

2. 2

   In a pan, add the cooked chana dal and jaggery. Cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. Stir continuously to avoid burning.

   Add the grated coconut to the dal-jaggery mixture and mix well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Let the mixture cool down completely.

4. 4

   In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of ghee. Add water gradually and knead into a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

6. 6

   Roll out the dough into a large circle and place it in a tart pan, pressing it gently to fit the pan. Trim any excess dough from the edges.

7. 7

   Spread the cooled puran (dal-jaggery-coconut mixture) evenly over the tart base.

8. 8

   Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
