Akshaya Tritiya stands as one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar, symbolizing prosperity, abundance, and fresh beginnings. Beyond its spiritual significance, the festival is celebrated with sumptuous meals, gold purchases, and delightful sweets that embody good fortune.
Traditional Puran Poli with a Rich Dry Fruit Twist
This year, elevate your festive spread with a sumptuous Dry Fruit Puran Poli crafted by Chef Deepak Gore of Tata Sampann. This recipe marries classic flavors with premium ingredients to create a dish that feels both indulgent and wholesome.
The filling, or puran, combines unpolished chana dal, jaggery, and a fragrant blend of cardamom and nutmeg, enriched further with chopped cashews and almonds. Cooked slowly to a thick consistency, this filling offers a delightful texture and natural sweetness that perfectly balances the mildly spiced wheat dough.
For the dough, whole wheat flour is kneaded with ghee and rested to ensure softness and elasticity. After wrapping the filling within, the puran poli is roasted on a hot griddle with ghee until golden and inviting.

|---|---|
| Tata Sampann Unpolished Chana Dal | 1 cup |
| Grated Jaggery | 1 cup |
| Cardamom Powder | ½ tsp |
| Nutmeg Powder | ¼ tsp |
| Chopped Cashews & Almonds | ½ cup combined |
| Ghee | 2 tbsp (for filling), plus extra for roasting |
This puran poli is best enjoyed hot, served with an extra dollop of ghee to enhance its richness—a true royal delight for the season of abundance.
