Puran Poli Tart with Coconut

Preparación

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.

3. 3

   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.
