This is a traditional Maharastrian recipe done on special occassions and festivals. It is rich in taste and quite simple to prepare compared to other puran polis. Usually we prepare puran using coconut or dhal. This is made using sweetened khoya with the outer layer using wheat flour. The stuffing can be prepared in minutes with milk powder and tastes awesome and the poli turns to be much soft. This grand version of poli can be also be done using leftover khoya.
