KADALAI PARUPPU POORANAM (SWEET POORANAM) FOR MOTHAGAM

        This is one of my old post re-posting for easy reference. We always make sweet pooranam with channa dal. We also add coconut to it. I have seen either people making channa dal pooranam / kadalai paruppu pooranam or coconut pooranam, but our version is a mixed version. We love this to eat as such. My brother Sen loves this a lot like anything. Even Vj loves this. I am not a big fan before, now a days I don’t know I like everything ;) So here is our version of kadalai paruppu pooranam.

Kadalai paruppu pooranam recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Sweet
Prep Time: 10 mins    |  Cook time: 20 mins    |  Makes: 25 

Ingredients

Channa dal/ kadalai paruppu	1/2 cup
Jaggery	3/4 - 1 cup
Coconut	1/2 cup
Elachi	2 , powdered

METHOD

1. Pressure cook channa dal upto 3 whistles, cool down and grind in blender or mash it with masher just to make it a paste and keep aside.
2. Take jaggery in a heavy bottomed vessel. Then pour water just enough to immerse jaggery.Heat it and when jaggery dissolves completely,filter it in a metal strainer to remove impurities if any. 
3. Then again start heating the jaggery syrup. When it starts boiling, at one stage, the syrup will get frothy.At this stage add the ground dhal paste and coconut. Stir continuously without forming any lumps.Add elachi powder and mix thoroughly. 
4. Note that water we are adding should be very less.The lesser we add water to jaggery, sooner the stuffing will get ready.Keep Stirring well till the mixture starts leaving the sides of the vessel. 

NOTES

If you reduce the channa dal or coconut amount mentioned for any reason,accordingly reduce the jaggery also,otherwise the mixture may turn sticky!

For ganesh chaturthi, we do this the before day and refrigerate. My MIL even makes equal sized balls and keep ready so that the next day its less work.
