POLI

                As I always make Suzhiyan for Diwali,the pooranam(stuffing) I always  make a bit more than needed and keep refrigerated. After few days I make poli which is my hubby’s favorite. I am not an expert in rolling poli,but I have improved than before now!  Thanks to Jugalbandhi,which have a good pictorial  to learn the technique and have drool worthy and professional pictures as well :)
