About Paal Poli Recipe | Milk poli Recipe
Paal Poli is a traditional South Indian dessert that consists of deep- fried semolina puri soaked in sweet saffron milk. Its a hybrid of two recipes in which a deep-fried wheat/maida poori is steeped in an evaporated milk rabdi. It is a popular dessert in southern India, especially in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
Ingredients for Stuffed Paal Poli
All Purpose Flour / Maida :
All-purpose flour can be used for a variety of tasks, including baking, cooking, coating meats and vegetables, and thickening sauces and gravies. To manufacture all-purpose flour, a blend of hard wheat (which has more gluten) and soft wheat is crushed together.
Sooji / Rava / Semolina :
Suji, also known as semolina, has been a staple in Indian cuisine for centuries. Semolina, which is made from coarsely ground whole wheat, is widely used in South Indian cuisine. This coarsely ground grain is used in a variety of sweet and savoury dishes.
Cashews :
Cashews contain a lot of starch, which will thicken sauces just like flour and potatoes do. The use of cashews over flour, for example, has the advantage of adding a lot of flavour to the sauce.
