Bhargavi,

Can you specify more abt the poli yr MIL makes or post the recipe becoz what I have heard about has all kinds of nuts, khoa etc. (name is koa poli or something), could not remember the name of the dish?

Thanks.

R:

I wanted to check with you before trying mysore pak.

You had mentioned about adding milk powder. Can you please give me the inputs so that I can try confidently. I am not too happy about 2 cups ghee but i guess you had given a solution too adding 1/2 cup oil, can i make it 1 cup oil? if so will the oil smell?

Pls clarify my doubts when you find time.

Thanks for your contd support!!

Seetha

Thanks Bhargavi for the recipe! its def different!!

Seetha

Sowmya, appreciate yr sharp observing power becoz I dont count by myself. Thanks..

Suganthi and Seetha, thank you guys too, but it is no big deal. Without all of you, is there anything can be done? So, credit goes to you too.

And, finally, bhargavi..appreciation from you is like vashitar vaayala..rest you fill it up!!

Abt the pooranam, yes, it is quite different and guess, easy to do. Becoz, dont have to worry about the excess of vellam and dont have to stir. If there is no vellam or dal, can proceed..Cant wait to try for my kids.

When we went to India last year, we had a function at home and one of the caterer was telling about this poli which is little similar to yrs.

Here it goes..cook sugarless koa, sugar, all dry nuts and coconut-(optl.) grind & stuff to make poli. I dont remember whether there is more ingredients to add or not.

Thanks for sharing very promptly.

Bhargavi, today, I am going to prepare navadhaniya adai for dinner.will let you know our opinion with variations soon...bye..

Hello Seetha,

I have already mentioned that adding milk powder method-am yet to try. The ghee will be way too high-besan:ghee=250 g: 4 1/2(brace yrself).

Anyways, I am planning to try for some occasion not with this amt of ghee; but implementing milk powder method and then, will let you know.

But, you can follow the method which I posted without adding milk powder, ok. Abt adding oil, tried only one time, that too with half a cup of warm heated oil.

One of the hubber was telling that she added 1 cup of oil directly without heating and she felt little oily smell though the taste was good. So, not sure about adding 1 cup. 1/2 to 3/4 cup is safe.

FYI, recently, we had a party and a lady brought shop bought mysore pak. I could felt the oil smell very well and also all over my fingers, the oil stain was there. But, the color was great with lots of holes. The oil smell was not very odd at all. So, guess, if it is heated oil and a good brand, then, it should not be a problem at all.

Recommending 1 cup of oil-am not sure since dont have any idea. Pls dont forget to add the oil at first and then, adding ghee at the second stage so that the smell of ghee will be dominating the sweet which mentioned earlier.

Pls feel free if you have any more queries.

Thanks a ton R!! I shall def try and post the result.

Seetha
