We are entering the final week of Blogging Marathon #69 edition and this week is going to be an interesting theme with fewer ingredients.
I chose to share 4 ingredients recipe and for this theme the main ingredients to be 4.Any ingredient less than a teaspoon and garnishing cannot be considered.For day1,I am sharing a sweet recipe called jeera boli/poli,quiet popular in Madurai.
Jeera poli is simple yet easy to make sweet in which a fried poori is soaked in a jeera/sugar syrup and garnished.Hence the name Jeera Poli/boli. Garnishing the poli can be done with chopped nuts and desiccated coconut.The garnishing is purely personal choice and availability of the ingredients.
Preparation time 10 minutes
Cooking time 30-35 minutes

All purpose flour/maida | 1 cup |
Sugar/sakkarai | 3/4 cup |
Salt | 1/2 tsp |
Oil | for frying pooris |
Cardamom powder/ellakai | a pinch |

Desiccated coconut and chopped nuts | as needed to garnish |
Method
- In a mixing bowl take the all purpose flour,salt .Mix it well.Heat the pan with 2 tbs of oil and once it becomes hot add it to the flour and mix it thoroughly.Knead it with water and make a stiff dough.
- Let it rest for 30-40 minutes.Meanwhile in a pan take the sugar and add water.Let it boil in a medium flame,till it becomes slightly thick.No need of any string consistency.Finally add the cardamom powder and food color.Put off the flame.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal parts and roll into a smooth ball.Roll it into qa 3-4 inch disc.Apply some oil and fold it into half.
- Then into quarter then roll it into a thin triangle.Continue for the rest of the dough balls.Heat oil in a pan and once it becomes hot fry it like a poori.
- Remove it from the oil and drop it in the sugar syrup(jeera) and soak it for a minute.Then sprinkle the desiccated coconut and chopped nuts.Arrange it on a plate.
- Store it in an air tight container.
- Round pooris can be made and fried then can be folded into half and served.
- If the pooris are puffed up while frying also fine.Anyway its dipped in sugar syrup and served.
- Saffron can also be added in the sugar syrup,for extra flavor.
