This week is going to be some delicious sweet flatbreads with different stuffings. Yes i picked Sweet flatbreads as theme for this week's blogging marathon. Poli/Holige is a Indian sweet flatbread which calls for channadal-jaggery stuffing. Though channadal stuffing is a quite popular stuffing for making some polis, many different versions of polis do exists. One of the popular poli after Puran poli aka channadal stuffing poli is this Thengai poli. Freshly grated coconut, once grinded with jaggery and cooked for few minutes makes this fantastic polis.
You can enjoy this coconut jaggery poli as a dessert after a meal or else as a sweets for any occasions. If you love puran polis, trust me this fantastic thengai poli will definitely please your sweet tooth.Served along with a cup of coffee or tea, one can have more than two as these polis are dangerously addictive. Dont worry, if there are some leftovers, when conserved properly in an air tightened box and refrigerated, these fantastic polis stays prefect for more than a week.
