Paal Poli/Milk Poli Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Paal Poli, also known as Milk Poli, is a traditional South Indian dessert made with a combination of soft, sweet polis (flatbreads) and a rich, creamy milk sauce. The polis are made from a dough of all-purpose flour, ghee, and water, which is rolled out and cooked until golden brown. The milk sauce is made by simmering milk with sugar, cardamom, and saffron until it thickens and develops a delicious flavor. The polis are then soaked in the milk sauce, allowing them to absorb the sweet and creamy flavors. Paal Poli is a delightful dessert that is perfect for special occasions or festivals.
