puran
Puran refers to a sweet flatbread popular in Indian cuisine, particularly in Maharashtra and parts of Gujarat and Karnataka. It is a traditional dish often prepared during festivals and special occasions. The filling, known as 'puran,' is typically made from cooked and mashed lentils, most commonly toor dal (split pigeon peas), mixed with jaggery or sugar. This sweet lentil mixture is then encased within a soft dough made from whole wheat flour and water, similar to the dough used for roti or chapati.
The preparation involves carefully stuffing the puran mixture into the dough and then rolling it out thinly.
