Gul Poli – A to Z Maharashtrian Sweets
Happy Ugadi to all my readers!
It was an easy pick for G. Though I had a choice like GuLacha Shira, Gul Shevya, Ghavan Ghatle, Gavhle, God Shankarpale, Gulachi poli was the one that was appealing. This Jaggery stuffed Flatbread might seem quite simple before you read the recipe. You will be in for a surprise how many things go into the stuffing.
Rolling out this polis is tough if your stuffing has become hard. The best way to make this will be to just add grated jaggery. However I went ahead and MW for a while, maybe even few minutes that ended up with a thicker syrup.
Still I managed to make this correctly in the end. Also, as I observed, my other dough was always enough for the stuffing, so even though I didn’t follow any recipe to the T, I managed to use up what I made.
I adapted my Gulpoli from here and here. Since the day I made this, I also made 4 other sweets, I had eyeballed the roasted nuts as I had prepared for all the dishes. Even the dough was kneaded for another dish.
As the recipes claim, these polis stay good for nearly 2 to 3 days. Since I made so many sweets, it was obvious it won’t get completed the same day. So I was happy that these have a good shelf life at room temperature as well.
