Ingredients:
Wheat Flour: 2cups
White Flour: 1 cup
Jaggery(gur): 3cup
Bengal gram: 2 cup
Turmeric: 1tsp
Cinamon powder: 1tsp
Dry ginger powder: 1tsp
Oil: 2tbsp

Method: For the stuffing:  Soak the dal(Bengal gram) overnight in sufficient amount of water. Drain any access water in the morning and add 3 cups of fresh water. Boil the dal with turmeric  and dry ginger powder and cinamon powder till done. Check the water and add little water if required. Add crushed jaggery,  in the dal mixture and let it cook till all the water evaporates. Grind the mixture in a grinder while warm. Let the mixture cool completely.
While the mixture is cooling down prepare the dough. Mix both the flours and salt and knead with water. The dough has to be little firm and not too soft. Apply oil on the dough and keep it aside for half an hour. Knead the dough again

Make  small balls of the dough. Flatten each ball with the palm and palce a small ball of stuffing into it. Fold the dough from all sides. Re peat the same process for all other balls.  With a light hand roll out each ball in to a floured surface.

Heat tawa or griddle. Put the rolled poli and let it cook on both the sides with out putting any oil or ghee. Once the poli is well done on both the sides, smear some pure ghee on it. Add dollops of pure ghee again while serving. Serve hot
