Surul Poli

By


Surul poli  is one of the traditional sweet prepared in for many tamil festival they are said to be originated in Tanjore  this poli can also be called as Suruttai poli . Surul means roll unlike other poli varities this poli in also stuffed with a filling made with coconut , roasted gram and sugar But the method is completely different . As you might know normally we stuff the poli stuffing in the dough while rolling them but here  after the poories are fried the stiffing is filled and made into rolls .This a very simple and a quick sweet prepared with very less ingredients and can be made in a jiffy. If you are badly attacked to sweet tooth and don’t want to prepare any lengthy processed sweet then is might be a option for sweet lovers.

  • In a plate dust some of this nuts powder and keep them ready.
  • Heat oil in a sauce pan for deep frying . when the oil is hot enough  slide the rolled poori into the hot oil.
  • With help of a ladle press it in the center gently along the edges they will puff a bit,flip them and cook them both the sides without making them crispy.
  • Once the poori are done remove them from  oil place it on the nuts dusted plate top them with the ground nuts stuffing roll them immediately when they are still hot so that the edges will stick well.
  • Garnish them with colored ghee roasted coconut scraps , tutti frutti and cherries.
