This is a traditional dish made by maharashtrian during holi and many auspicious occasion. Good to see that a non maharashtrian has given this receipe. But i would like to give one tip to make this delicious dish more yummy. First, cook the dal and jaggery together and then make its paste. By doing so jaggery get mixed very well and the rotis will come out well and one more tip is if u make a dough using milk instead of water the puran poli will be more tasty. thanx and sorry if i have hurt u.
