MILK POLI - A SWEET DELICACY

Hi friends,
            am back.  It was my birthday a few days back and my mother made this all time favourite dish of mine :):):). MILK POLI 

I'll share the recipe with you all so you can all enjoy what I've been doing all these years :):):)
This dish has got 2 parts :

  • the poli
  • flavoured milk.

INGREDIENTS:

       FOR POLI:

  • ALL PURPOSE FLOUR ................ 1 cup
  • SEMOLINA                    ................ 3 tsp
  • SALT                               ...............  1/4 tsp
  • WATER                           ...............  enough to make dough
  • OIL                                  ...............  enough to fry.

       FOR FLAVOURED MILK :


  • MILK                   .......................... 1 litre
  • SUGAR                ..........................  as you wish :) :) I PREFER LOT :)
  • CARDAMOM     ........................... just for flavour so use as much or little you want/ it can be                                                                   replaced with any other flavouring agent
  • SAFFRON           .......................... a pinch






METHOD:

       MILK :    

  • Let the milk boil well until it condenses to thick consistency... the thicker the milk the better the taste.
  • Drop a few strands of saffron in warm water for it to let its colour out and then mix it with the boiling milk (enjoy the colour change... its totally natural)
  • Powder the cardamom and add it to milk.
  • Also add the sugar and mix well.
  • Let the milk simmer.

 POLI :

  • Mix flour, semolina, salt together.
  • Semolina is to give more depth to the dough.
  • Add enough water to make the dough not to thick not too runny.
  • Cover it with a cloth and let it rest for 10-15 mins.
  • Now roll them into small pieces.
  • Roll those small pieces of dough into flat circular polis.
  • Now fold the circle into half.
  • Now add oil to a pot kept in stove and let it boil.
  • Now fry the poli just until they're golden brown.
  • Add the fried poli into simmering milk.
  • Repeat this for all polis and see that there is enough milk for all polis
  • Let polis soak for atleast 30mins.
  • Now they're ready to serve :):):)
