Nilakadalai Poli / Peanut Poli Recipe:
250 + 100 Grams Whole Wheat Flour


250 Grams Peanuts / Nilakadalai
250 Grams Jaggery (Powdered)
1 Tsp Cardamom Powder
Oil and Ghee as Required
1 Tsp Salt...


Prepare Dough:
Sift 250 grams whole wheat flour twice and add to a mixing bowl.

Combine 1/2 tsp salt in the flour.

Gradually sprinkle water, knead and prepare a soft dough.

Add 2 tbsp oil knead for 2 to 3 minutes and prepare a soft dough.

Cover the dough and place it in the fridge for 2 hours.


Prepare Filling / Puranam:
Heat a wok on medium flame. Once the wok is hot place on low flame and add peanuts.

Constantly keep stirring and dry roast the peanuts. While dry roasting the peanuts the skin from peanuts will automatically peel and the nuts will sputter.

Once the peanuts release good aroma and skin turns golden in color, remove from flame and spread on a flat surface allow the peanuts to reach room temperature.

Rub the peanuts on the flat surface to husk the skin, fan the skin and reserve on the husked or skinless peanuts for use.

Measure and add the peanuts to a mixer jar, pulse and grind to form a coarse powder.

Measure equal amount jaggery and add to the ground peanuts, add cardamom powder and salt, grind all the ingredients to form a even puranam.

Reserve the peanut puranam in a bowl to avoid heat from the mixer jar, excessive heat from the mixer jar will make the groundnut oily and the mixture tight.


Prepare Peanut Poli:
Combine 1/4 cup ghee and 1/4 cup oil in a bowl and reserve.

Knead the dough once, form lime size roundles and dip in flour, roll the dough roundle to form even size pooris.

To prepare one poli we require two rolled breads.

Apply half tsp of oil and ghee mixture both the rolled out dough surface.

Take 2 tbsp peanut mixture and spread in a even layer. Place the other rolled out dough and seal the edges.

Dust excess flour and rollout the poli to for a thin flat bread.


Prepare a batch of four to five polis as it is easy to fry in batches.

Heat a tawa or iron skillet on medium flame. Once the tawa heats up, gently flip the rolled out poli to the hot tawa and fry for a minute on each side.

We can apply tbsp oil on both side and fry the poli until the edges turn crispy.

Serve these polis hot with ghee or butter and enjoy 😉
