Method:
  • To maida add salt, orange or yellow colour and make soft dough  ( like chappathi dough ) by adding water little by little and keep it aside for 2 hrs
  • Cook the kadalai paruppu in cooker for 2 whistle and cool it
  • After that grind it in mixie for one pulse to make it sooji like consistency
  • Heat jaggery in kadai with 1 tspn of water and allow it to dissolve
  • When jaggery dissolves completely and become thickened ( slight pagu patham ), add grinded dal, grated coconut, cardamon, 2 tspn ghee and mix well
  • When all the ingredients mix well leave it in low flame for 5 to 10 mins and switch off the stove and cool down
  • Take lemon size of maida dough and press it slightly in palm and keep the poornam inside and close it thoroughly with the dough
  • Then in plastic sheet or banana leaf with the help of oil press this poornam stuffed maida dough with the help of fingers like a chappathi ( that is by pressing all sides of the dough slowly step by step by rotating it )
  • Heat the tawa and cook the boli by turning up side down until it becomes golden brown by applying oil 
  • Serve this Paruppu Boli hot with ghee on top
Note:
If we use orange or yellow colour with maida we will get colour boli
Here i didn't use colour to the dough so it looks normal colour
