Take off heat and add sugar and 2 tbsp shortening. Cook on low heat stirring all the time, till thick. Almonds, mixed fruit, essence, This dal filling can be cooked and kept one day ahead. Make 3 round balls. Pastry: Use Pillsburry Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets as in this video.
Maan: flour and ghee / shortening
Assemble the Pori: Flatten the pastry sheets out, fold the puff pastry into a pocket. Take a big ball of the filling (dar) and fill. Flatten it thick as shown in video. Bake at 350 F for 5 to 10 minutes till nicely light-brown. Air-Fryer and a non-stick pan was used in this video. Watch carefully or the pastry will become dark-brown which is not preferred.
