    About the recipe

    Gul Poli, Gulachi Poli or Sesame Jaggery flatbread is a sweet chapatti that is typically prepared during the festival of Makar Sankranthi. Sweet, soft and delicious, it takes time to prepare but is nevertheless worth the effort.

    Poli recipe is a Maharashtrian specialty. Made using gul that is jaggery and dough of flours stuffed with a sweet mix, gul poli are a must-have!

    Gul Poli are made by rolling the ball of stuff dough and then it is placed on heat to be finely roasted with ghee or oil.

    Different parts of India prepare this flatbread in different ways. While gram flour is used in the state of Maharashtra, in Karnataka a mix of coconut filling with jaggery is often used.

    Besides the crunchiness of the roasted sesame seeds and poppy seeds, and earthiness of the jaggery, what makes this special is that the chapatti is very nutritious and can be enjoyed just as is, with a dollop of ghee on the side.

    Makar Sankranthi or the harvest festival is celebrated by making a host of other delicacies, such as Ven Pongal, or the Thinai Ven Pongal for lunch. Sakkarai Pongal is also a sweet dish made with jaggery for this occasion. Sesame Rice or Ellu Sadam and Chikki are the other two dishes prepared during Makar Sankranti. Here is how to make Til Gul Poli.
