About
Poli is a traditional Indian sweet flatbread made with flour, lentils, jaggery or sugar and cardamom. It is usually served as a dessert or snack. The dough is rolled into thin sheets and then filled with a mixture of boiled gram, jaggery, cardamom, and nuts. The filled dough is then rolled into a spiral shape and roasted on a griddle. Poli is often served with a dollop of ghee.
