Pumpkin Poli: Easy, healthy and delicious snack or dessert 

Ingredients: 
Wheat flour 1.5 cup 
Grated Pumpkin – 3/4 cup 
Powdered sugar as per taste 
Powdered cardamom as per taste 
Salt as per taste 
Oil for deep frying
Instructions: 
       In a thick bottomed pan, add a tablespoon of oil and heat it. Add grated pumpkin and saute until it turns soft. Let it cool down. In the same pan, add wheat flour, salt and a table spoon of oil and mix well. Add water and knead the dough into medium soft ball. Take small batches of the dough and make small balls. On a flat surface, sprinkle some flour, place the ball and roll into small, round and little thick chapatis/ tortillas/ rotis/ puris. 

      In a deep fry pan, add sufficient oil for deep frying and heat it. Once the oil is piping hot, add the puri into the pan. Using the laddle try to press down the puri slightly (OR) try to dishout and pour the hot oil on the puri. This process helps the puri to puff up. Flip the puri and cook on the other side evenly. Once done, dish it out to a plate.
NOTE: If the puris are too thin or if the oil is not hot enough, the puris do not puff up.  

      Mix cardamom powder and sugar powder well. Add this mixture into the strainer, place it above the puri and tap the strainer slightly so that the sugar powder coats the puri evenly and forms a thin layer of sweet. You can serve it as is or you may also add warm milk or almond milk over it for making the dish even more flavourful. Enjoy with family and friends.
