Jeera Polee


Jeera polees or Jeera Polis are special kind of pooris dipped in sugar syrup. Its a great and easy dish for any occasion. Jeera means sugar syrup. Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

Fine Rava - 1 cup

All purpose Flour - 1 cup


Sugar and Water both 2 cups each

Cardamom Powder and Saffron

Oil for deep frying

Method:

For Jeera,

Mix sugar and water. Add Cardamon powder, Saffron and allow it to boil for 10 mins.

For polee,

Mix Fine Rava and All Purpose Flour (Maida) adding water little by little.

Knead well atleast for 5 mins.

The dough should be like that of the poori dough consistency.

Keep aside for 3 hours.

Roll out the dough like pooris and deep fry in oil. Immedietely soak the polee in the prepared Jeera for ten seconds and take it out and arrange on a plate.

Please note: PLEASE DO ONE POLEE AT A TIME. DO NOT MAKE POLEES FIRST AND THEN DIP IT IN JEERA. THE POORIS WILL BECOME CRISPY AND WILL START TO BREAK INTO PIECES.
