About Pooran puri

Pooran Puri, a beloved dish from Indian cuisine, is a sweet stuffed flatbread traditionally enjoyed during festivals and special occasions. It's made by filling whole-wheat dough with a mixture of boiled and mashed chana dal (split Bengal gram), jaggery or sugar, cardamom, and nutmeg, then rolling it out and cooking on a hot griddle with ghee or oil. While its primary ingredients like chana dal and jaggery provide fiber, protein, and iron, Pooran Puri is high in calories due to added sugars and fats. The use of whole-wheat flour offers some nutritional benefits compared to refined alternatives, but its preparation with ghee increases saturated fat content. Though it may not be ideal for everyday consumption, Pooran Puri can be enjoyed as a treat, especially when balanced with lighter accompaniments such as yogurt or fresh fruits. Moderation is key to savoring its rich taste without overindulging.
