Puran Poli
Soak chana dal in 1000 ml water , add Turmeric and 1 tablespoon oil.

Drain water and store it in a separate bowl. We will use this for the curry.

Add nutmeg and cinnamon powder to it.
Cook till it gels well while stirring for 5 mins.
Allow it to cool and put it in a mixie and make a fine thick paste. Keep aside.
This is called the Puran. keep 2 tablespoon of the puran aside for mixing in the Curry.
Mix the flour with oil and mould a large dough ball.
Put oil on the dough ball and allow to sink for about 10 mins.
Make smaller balls of the same for making medium sized Chapati (Poli)
Roll the small Poli ball over a mould of Puran. Then make a chapatti(poli) out of it.
Ensure that you make the chapatti softly like you do while making a Paratha.
