Puran Poli is always the best dish and everyone's favorite when it comes to making sweet dhod dish on any festival day or any happy moment.

Everyone thinks that puran poli is a very difficult dish, it takes a lot of time to make this dish

But in fact, Puran Poli is a quick-cooking dish with ingredients that are easily available at home.

Another feature of Puran Poli is that Puran Poli is widely used as a sweet dish to heal God. Puran Poli Naivaidya is shown especially during Holi, Nag Panchami, Akshayatritiya, Gudi Padwa.

Puran polli is known as a special dish in the festival of Maharashtra.

Puranpoli is not only famous in Maharashtra but it is also made in places like Gujarat, Kerala etc. As the country is called Culture, there is a difference in the method of making puran poli in the village in each country.

Chana dal is the main food here, but in some places, toor dal is used for puran instead

In some places they make puran poli only of flour, in some places they make only puran poli of wheat flour, and in some places they make poli by combining both.

Puran Poli is such a delicious dish that it is made with equal enthusiasm at everyone's home

For my dada [my father], festivals were an excuse, but he could never stop the temptation of Puran Poli.

Everyone eats puran poli with curd, milk, ghee as per their choice.

My mother always makes a little extra puran so that the next day I can make hot puran polii and drizzle it with ghee for a delicious breakfast.

In many places it is customary to serve flour-filled poli to the naivadiya as this poli is very fluffy and tastes very delicious.

Some places don't like maida puran poli because they make puran poli with only flour, while others make puran poli with flour/wheat flour as flour is too thick to digest.

And I love Puran Polya which is a mixture of both flour and wheat flour.
