Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Hot water
• 1 cup Chana dal
• 0.25 cup Stevia or erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 3 tablespoons Ghee
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg powder

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the filling. Rinse the chana dal thoroughly and soak it in water for at least 2 hours. After soaking, drain the water.

Step 2

In a pressure cooker, add the soaked chana dal and 2 cups of fresh water. Cook on medium heat until you hear 3-4 whistles indicating that the dal is soft and cooked. Alternatively, you can cook the dal in a pot until soft, approximately 30-40 minutes.

Step 3

Once cooked, drain the excess water and mash the dal to a smooth paste using a potato masher or a blender. Add the stevia, cardamom, and nutmeg to the mashed dal and mix well. Set aside.

Step 4

To prepare the low-carb dough, in a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or hands.

Step 5

Add olive oil and mix again until the flour is crumbly.

Step 6

Gradually add hot water, starting with a few tablespoons at a time, and mix well to form a soft dough. The consistency should be pliable but not sticky. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly.

Step 8

Take one dough ball and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it flat using a rolling pin into a thin circle, about 5-6 inches in diameter.

Step 9

Place about 2 tablespoons of the chana dal filling in the center of the rolled dough. Gently fold the edges over the filling, pinching to seal and forming a stuffed ball.

Step 10

Flatten the stuffed ball slightly, place it between parchment paper sheets again, and gently roll it out to a circle of approximately 6-7 inches diameter, being careful not to break the dough.

Step 11

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of ghee. Once hot, place the rolled puran poli onto the skillet.

Step 12

Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the filling is heated through.

Step 13

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling, adding ghee as necessary.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb puran poli!
