About Puran poli
Puran Poli is a traditional sweet flatbread from Indian cuisine, particularly popular in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and South India. It is made using whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour stuffed with a filling of jaggery (unrefined cane sugar) and cooked chana dal (split Bengal gram), flavored with cardamom, nutmeg, and sometimes saffron. Typically served during festivals and special occasions, this dish is both indulgent and culturally significant. Puran Poli provides a source of protein and fiber from the chana dal, with jaggery offering trace minerals like iron. However, it’s relatively high in carbohydrates and calories due to the sugar and ghee (clarified butter) often used during preparation. While it is a treat in moderation, highly refined flours and sugars may not align with stricter health goals. Balancing portion sizes and making lighter versions with whole wheat flour or reduced ghee can enhance its nutritional profile.
