Asha Maharaj’s Poli Recipe — Soft, Buttery, Traditional

Few Indian sweets feel as comforting and celebratory as poli (obla or puran poli) — a thin, stuffed flatbread sweetened with a spiced lentil-jaggery filling and finished with ghee. This version honors Asha Maharaj’s style: soft, mildly spiced, and richly buttery. It’s written for home cooks who want clear, reliable steps and a delicious, authentic result.

  1. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Place a Poli on the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
  3. Flip the Poli over and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the other side is also golden brown.
  4. Repeat with the remaining Poli.
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and ghee or oil.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the syrup thickens slightly.
  4. Remove the syrup from the heat and stir in the ground cardamom and saffron threads (if using).

Cook: Place the poli on a hot tawa (griddle). Cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides, brushing generously with ghee during the process. Expert Tips for Success asha maharaj poli recipe
