4.Take the dough and make small balls. Place on banana leaf(here i have used aluminium foil). dd little bit of ghee and press firmly and add the filling inside. Close the filling again press firmly with four fingers to make a shape.

                                                              

5.Heat the tawa and place on it. Add little bit of ghee. Cook both sides until it turns color. 

Serve hot ! :) yummy parupu poli is ready to feast your tummy :) I did small poli for my little kiddo for this ugadi special. Ugadi subhakankshalu :) 

Note

1.Adding good amount of oil will make batter loose and non sticky. So do not skip oil.

2.Filling gives you shelf life of 2-3 days in refrigerator. Left over filling can be used to make "Suyyam" Recipe. Will post it soon.
3.If your stuffing becomes watery while grinding do not panic. Shift to wok/kadai and stir continuously inmedium flame until all water evaporates.  

3.Always prefer to serve immediately. It may becomes rubbery after few hours.
