Paal Poli Recipe
Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 45 minutes Serves 6-8 Recipe source: Divya
Ingredients: 1.5 litres of milk 1 can (400gm) of evaporated milk 1 can (400gm) of condensed milk
Powder together: 2-3 tbsp of sugar (adjust to your preference) 6-8 pods of green cardamom
For the Pooris: 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour 1 tsp of oil Salt to taste Oil of for deep frying
To Garnish: 10-12 of cashew nuts, slivered A few of almonds, slivered (optional)
How It’s Made:
- Mix the flour, salt, and oil with enough water to make a stiff dough. Let it stand for about 15 minutes.
- Roll out palm-sized pooris from the dough, and deep fry in the oil.
- Drain the pooris and lay out on a flat dish lined with kitchen napkins.
- Boil together the milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk along with the sugar-cardamom powder mixture on medium heat for about 15 – 20 minutes to a thick-ish pouring consistency (neither too runny nor too thick).
- Pour the milk mixture over the pooris and let it stand for a couple of hours, until the pooris soak about half of the milk mixture.
- Garnish with roasted unsalted almonds and cashew nuts. Paal Poori can be served warm or chilled in the refrigerator. Pin Note: If you are unable to source evaporated milk, just measure out one can of milk instead and add to the mixture instead of evaporated milk. Update: Since many of you wrote to me saying this is in fact called Paal Poli and not Paal Poori, I have edited the title to reflect that 🙂
