Thengai Poil recipe

some tips, suggestions, and recommendations for a perfect Coconut Poli. Firstly I have used all-purpose flour for the dough you can use wheat flour but make sure you knead dough little lose than the chapati dough. Secondly, for syrup, I used the palm sugar it gives lovely color to the filling and healthy too. Finally don’t make the Poli in high flame always cook in low to medium so that it will cook inside as well. Before Heading to the Coconut Poli Recipe, Happy #Pongal2020 to all my readers and Friends.

Notes
To get soft Polis, then knead the dough for at least 5-6 mins and then coat it with oil. It should be loose and soft.
Make sure that you covered the dough while resting otherwise it will turn dry.
You can also use vegetable oil if you cant find gingelly oil.
Do not cook the Poil 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 color.
