To form Poli :

Take a ball of dough and roll it to form a small roti . Add the filling and use the free ends of the roti to form a ball again . Seal the ball well by pressing the open ends just as we would normally do for a Paratha.Roll it into a roti again . Roast both sides on the Tawa on medium or low heat .

Take care that the filling doesn't spill when turning the Roti upside down .

Serve when the Poli cools down to room tempreture . This poli tastes good with Desi ghee .
