• In a pan, add ghee/oil and saute the coconut and jaggery mixture for 2- 3 minutes.
• When it is warm , make this into big lemon sized equal balls.
• Grease a zip lock cover or a butter paper or a banana leaf and place a small lemon sized dough in this.
• Grease your fingers with oil and and stretch the dough little with your fingers.Place the filling in this and cover with the dough as we do for  stuffed parathas
• With the help of a rolling pin , gently roll this into polis
• Do not dust with flour. Just grease the rolling pin with oil
• Heat a tawa and transfer this rolled poli gently onto the tawa
• When done on one side flip it and cook till golden spots appear on the poli.
• This will get cooked very fast, Always cook on medium low flame.
• Repeat this for the rest of the dough.

I try something new, by cutting the polis into pieces, and threaded on toothpick!

and dip it on mango syrup

• Always serve hot .
