Real puran poli Recipe

Puran poli (mande) is a traditional maharashtrian sweet that is normally prepared on festive days. Puran poli is also called mande in khandesh in which the preparation is quite different than regular puran poli. It is baked on khapar (khapar bowl made out of an earthen pot). Preparing mandes is a skillful affair as they are made with hands and the khandesh has a unique method of preparing puranpoli. Unlike other puran polis these are rolled out thin by stretching out the dough with hands.
