Ingredients

1 cup	whole wheat flour
1 cup	jaggery
1 cup	sesame seeds
2 tablespoons	ghee
1/4 teaspoon	cardamom powder
1/4 teaspoon	salt
as needed	water
as needed	oil for cooking

Instructions

1. 1 In a pan, dry roast the sesame seeds on low heat until they are golden and aromatic. Allow them to cool.
2. 2 Grind the roasted sesame seeds into a coarse powder using a mixer.
3. 3 In a separate pan, melt the jaggery with a little water until it forms a syrup. Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
4. 4 Combine the sesame seed powder with the jaggery syrup to form a thick paste. Let this mixture cool.
5. 5 In a bowl, mix the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and enough water to form a soft dough. Knead well and let it rest for 15 minutes.
6. 6 Divide the dough into small balls and flatten each one slightly.
7. 7 Take a portion of the sesame-jaggery mixture and place it in the center of the flattened dough.
8. 8 Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and seal it. Gently roll it out into a flat disc, being careful not to let the filling spill out.
9. 9 Heat a tawa or griddle and cook the rolled poli on both sides, applying a little oil or ghee, until golden brown and cooked through.
10. 10 Serve warm with a dollop of ghee on top.
