Kadambur Boli (Poli) Recipe

May 20, 2015 by Premalatha Aravindhan 4 Comments

Tamil Nadu Special Kadambur Boli

Boli is a delicious sweet snack also known as poli, very famous in Kadambur in Tamilnadu. This Kadambur boli recipe is similar to Kerala boli recipe but slight changes. For stuffing, they use Bengal gram (kadalaiparuppu), Jaggery & cardamom. This recipe doesn’t call for coconut like normal poli recipe. This stuffing gives the extraordinary taste. The kadalaiparuppu has to soak with jaggery and cardamom for 2 hrs and then grind it in attukal (manual grinder). On this processing time, the Bengal gram sucks the syrup and flavor and this make the stuffing tasty and flavourful. Usually, we make boli for bogi pandigai but making of boli is bit different than this. Let’s proceed with the recipe.

How to make Boli (poli) step by step instruction:

Kadambur Boli1.Add Maida, turmeric powder, salt, and water in a mixing bowl and are kneaded together to a pliable dough, which is coated with oil and kept aside for at least 1 hour.(i forgot to add the turmeric powder so i added it for the final dough)Kadambur Boli

Now Powdered jaggery and mix well with the Bengal gram.Now add the cardamom powder and mix well altogether and let it soak for 1-2 hours. It is then blended to a fine paste in mixie or grinder.Then make the kadalaiparuppu puranam into gooseberry-sized balls.

To get soft bolis ,the dough should be sticky and soft.Make sure that you cover the dough completely with oil.You can also use vegetable oil ,if you cant find gingelly oil.
Do not cook the boli for too long,if you do so it will turn hard.
The bolis can be stored in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. Refrigerate it,if you want to keep it for a longer time.
Adding turmeric powder is optional.I did add turmeric powder as i wanted to avoid artificial food colour.
