DAR NI PORI RECIPE

Makes 5 Poris

675 gm Toor (Tuver) dal
1 Litre Water
725 gm Sugar
60 gm Almonds
60 gm Pista
60 gm Cashew
60 gm Charoli
60 gm white sultanas (raisins)
1 tsp  Anise
3 tsp Cardamom, Nutmeg, Javentri & Kerva seed ( mixed and powdered).
3 tsp ice cream essence or vanilla essence, your choice.
1 table spoon pure ghee to put in the dar.

METHOD

  1. Put the dar in pressure cooker with 1 litre of water, Anise and pinch of salt.

  2. After cooking for 10 minutes, remove in microwave vessel and add sugar, 1 tsp ghee and microwave for 20 minutes. Mix and microwave for another 10 minutes.

  3. Remove from microwave and add essence, all spices, meva (chopping the charoli and sultanas). Mix well and let cool.

  4. Make balls approx 4 inch round or 450 gram (Tip for caterer). Roll in flour to coat.

  5. Use Puff Pastry or Rita’s homemade dar ni pori pastry. (click here for recipe).

  6. Roll out pastry like a roti and put the dar ball in it. Close the pastry around with your hands and pinch to seal. Press with the palm of your hands and using flour and a rolling pin press to have a flat 2.5 cm pori.

  7. Beat one egg with some milk and apply on pori. Vegetarians can use water.

  8. Place in butter paper (parchment) on a oven proof tray.

  9. Pre heat oven to 200 C and bake for 20 minutes. The pori should turn light brown not dark. TIP: Remember it is only the pastry that is being baked, dar is already cooked.

  10. Remove from oven and brush on both sides some good old pure ghee.

  11. If pori is not cooked on the bottom, flip over and put in oven for 6-8 minutes.

Pori will stay wrapped in butter paper in refrigerator for a week. If you freeze these after cooling, they will stay for 6 months.
