    Coconut Poli Recipe with step by step pictures. Thengai Poli made using coconut jaggery stuffed inside flat bread and cooked in ghee.

    Coconut Poli Recipe

    Coconut Poli is a delicious stuffed poli which taste amazing. It is so easy to make and is great for any festive occasions.

    Puran poli is one of my favourite sweet. For me puran poli has to be soft, flaky and thin..When you try to make them at home they turn out to be like a thick stuffed paratha, but the store bought ones are super thin and soft. This kadambur poli is complete different from that, it is thick and has a rich jaggery chana dal mix. This has an addition of coconut too. Taste so delicious

    Check out my pooran poli recipe too.

    How to Make Coconut Poli

    • Take coconut in a blender and pulse it few times till it is fine.
    • Take jaggery and water in a sauce pan and heat till it is melted. Strain and set aside.
    • Pour this back into the same kadai. Add in coconut and mix well.
    • Keep cooking this till it is thick. Add in cardamom powder, ghee and mix well. Remove this to a bowl and allow it to cool down.
    • Now make the dough. Take water and ghee in a bowl and mix well. Add flour and salt and make a soft dough.let it rest for 15 mins. 
    • Divide dough and filling into equal balls. Take a dough and place filling in it, flatten it and roll it into a roti.
    • Place this in a hot pan, cook till golden on both sides.
    • Serve.

    Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
