How to make Keto Puran Poli
Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, coconut flour, ghee, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Add warm water gradually and knead to form a smooth, pliable dough. The psyllium husk will help bind the dough, similar to gluten in regular flour.
Cover and let the dough rest for about 15-20 minutes.
Make the Keto-Friendly Filling
In a pan, heat the ghee and add coconut flour. Lightly toast it until fragrant.
Add the powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, cardamom powder, and saffron water (if using). Stir well and cook until the mixture thickens and becomes a dough-like consistency.
Mix in grated coconut for extra texture. Let the filling cool down.
Assemble the Keto Puran Poli
Divide the dough into small balls. Roll out each ball between two pieces of parchment paper to prevent sticking, as the dough is fragile.
Place a spoonful of the coconut filling in the center, fold the dough over the filling, and gently flatten it out to form a round disc.
Cook the Puran Poli
Heat a tawa or griddle on medium heat. Roast the Puran Poli on both sides, using ghee or coconut oil, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
Serve your Keto Puran Poli warm, with a drizzle of ghee on top for extra indulgence, or pair it with keto-friendly almond milk.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the dough is pliable and not too dry to prevent cracking.
Use parchment paper to roll out the dough to avoid sticking.
Adjust the sweetness of the filling to your preference by adding more or less sweetener.
