Apple Puran Poli

I was wondering what I can cook using apples apart from the famous pie and milkshake.  I was searching the Food network's site for some interesting recipes.  Then I saw an announcement for another event "Sweet Series", this month's theme being puran poli.  All of a sudden I got the idea of making an apple poli.  I thought of making apple halwa, like carrot halwa and then stuffing it inside the all-purpose flour dough to make polis.  To my surprise, it turned out very very tasty.  The halwa was so delicious by itself and so was the poli too.  Thanks once again DK and Siri, I would have not come up with this recipe if it was not for your  contest.

As it was my test recipe, I tried it with small quantities only.  But the next time I make this poli I'm going to double the measurements.

Ingredients For The Stuffing:
  • 1 Grated Small Apple (Be Sure To Check That It's Sweet)
  • 1/4 To 1/2 Cup Grated Or Crumbled Milk Khoa (Khova, Mawa)
  • 2 Tablespoons Or As Per Taste) Sugar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cardamom Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Ghee
  • As Needed Powdered Dhalia, Optional
Khoa and Apple
Procedure:
  1. Combine all purpose flour, salt and water to form a ball of dough, just like chapathi dough. Then add the ghee and knead it thoroughly. Cover the dough and let it sit for at least one hour.

  11. Then add the sugar and khoa to the cooked apples.
  12. Add sugar

  13. Cook it for another 3 minutes or until you don't smell raw apples. Alternatively you can prepare this on stove top also. Add 2 teaspoons of ghee in a frying pan and sauteed the grated apples, until they are cooked well. Then add the sugar, let it dissolve and then add the khoya and combine it together. If this mixture is a bit watery add some more khoya or the powdered dhalia, so that the stuffing will hold together properly.

  15. Apple puran and all purpose flour dough.
  16. Prepare the dough
  17. Now divide the dough into 4 equal size balls. Also take 4 equal portions of the stuffing. Make the stuffing smaller in size than the dough. Eat the rest of the halwa just like that. Everybody will ask for more.

  20. Place one portion of the stuffing on the the rolled out dough.
  21. Place the mix on the dough
