Puran Poli is a sweet flatbread, an authentic Maharashtrian dish made by mothers on every festival or occasion such as Holi, Diwali, Gudipadwa, or family gatherings. Puran Poli is not only a favorite dish among elders but also loved by children. It's more than just a dish; it's an emotion.
Historically, Puran Poli provided consistent energy to fighters before going to war or battle. With its long shelf-life, high protein, and complex carbs from wheat, and no common sugar, it's naturally sweetened with jaggery.
Why Katachi Amti Goes Best with Puran Poli?
Taste
Puran Poli is sweet by nature due to the jaggery used in its preparation, while Katachi Amti has a spicy and tangy taste. The combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy creates a delightful flavor experience.
Preparation
Katachi Amti is made using the remaining water from boiling chana dal (chickpeas), which retains the dal's nutrients. This makes it easy to prepare and nutritious.
Filling
Puran Poli with Katachi Amti makes a complete meal. While Puran Poli alone is delicious, adding a small bowl of Katachi Amti makes it more filling and enhances the taste, creating a perfect food combination.
Versatility
Katachi Amti is typically spicy with a rich use of Indian spices, but it can be made a bit sweeter by adding jaggery powder during preparation.
