How to Make Prize Winning Pall Milk Poli Indian Sweet

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cold milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic (about 5-7 minutes). Add a tablespoon of milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the dough, knead it in thoroughly.
  4. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 4 hours at room temperature.
  5. While the dough rests, rinse 1 cup of chana dal (split chickpeas) and boil in 3 cups of water until very soft (about 30-40 minutes).
  6. Drain the cooked chana dal completely.
  7. Grind the cooked chana dal into a smooth paste using a food processor or blender.
  8. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder to the chana dal paste. Mix well.
  9. Cook the chana dal mixture in a pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens to a firm consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
  10. Allow the chana dal mixture to cool completely. Once cooled, roll small portions into 1-inch balls.
  11. Roll out each ball of dough into a 4cm disc.
  12. Place a small chana dal ball in the center of each dough disc.
  13. Gently gather the edges of the dough and pinch to seal completely, forming a smooth ball.
  14. Roll out the sealed dough ball into a 10cm disc.
  15. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or tava over medium-low heat. Cook each pall milk poli for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
  16. Serve hot with a dollop of ghee (clarified butter) for an extra rich flavor.
  17. Enjoy your delicious homemade Pall Milk Poli!
