Boli - Ingredients:

Bengal gram(Kadalapariappu) 2 cups (it is besan flour Fine,
free flowing powder produced from milling chana dhall
(dehulled and split desi chick peas). Free from lumps,
specks, discolouration and infestation.
Sugar 2 cups
Allpurpose flour(Maida)  1 1/2 cups
Gingelly Oil  1/2 cup (sesame oil)
Nutmeg(Jathikka) powder  Few pinches
Kesari powder  Few pinches (kind of like saffron)(for yellow

Rice flour for spreading on board

Boli - Directions:

Boil the gram with plenty of water. When nicely cooked, strain.
Add water once again, boil & drain.
Add sugar & nutmeg powder to the cooked gram & keep on low heat till the mixture becomes semi solid. Stir constantly.
Remove from fire & grind to a fine paste.
Add kesari powder to the maida flour and with a little water and make into a dough.
Pour gingelly oil into the dough & knead it, until it becomes very soft. Keep it aside for 2 or more hours.
Make equal number of balls with the dough & the gram mixture.
Take a ball of gram, cover it with maida ball & turn onto a floured board (rice flour to be used on the board) & roll out as thinly as possible.
Apply a little ghee on griddle & fry (like we do for chappatis) the boli on it.
