Kadalai Paruppu Pooranam, a delicious stuffing made from the chana dal, jaggery,coconut and flavored with cardamom which is used for many Indian Sweets like sushiyam, kozhukattai and poli.
I love this stuffing for kozhukattai and poli more than any other fillings. It tastes so awesome with exotic flavor and taste.  



For this recipe, i have used an equal amount of chana dal and jaggery which is sweet enough for our family. But if you really want more sweetness in your pooranam, then you can add more jaggery as per your liking.

Also, the color of the pooranam depends on the color of the jaggery. Use dark colored jaggery for bright looking stuffing. You may notice the color difference in the final pictures and the step by step pictures of pooranam in this post that's because i have taken the photos on different days and also the jaggery that i used are also different. 

I know this is the odd time of the year to post this recipe but I have had this post on my drafts for a while, finally today I got some time to edit the post so i'm sharing this today :-)

Now let's check out on how to make kadalai paruppu pooranam.

Ingredients
Channa Dal - 1/2 cup

Grated Coconut - 3 tbsp
Procedure
Soak the channa dal for 1/2 hr. 
In a sauce pan, bring 3 cup of water to boil, add the channa dal and allow to cook.
The channa dal should not be mushy, if you press the channa dal in between your fingers, it should be pressed.That's correct stage, switch off the flame, drain the dal and dry it on neat kitchen cloth until the extra water is absorbed.
Put the chann dal in the blender and pulse it for few seconds, it will become powdered easily and keep it aside.
Heat the  wide pan, add the jaggery with litltle water & crushed cardamom, allow the jaggery to melt and bring it to boil.
Add the powdered chann dal, mix it well, then add coconut and stir it well.
Once the dal leaves the side , remove it from flame & allow to cool. Then make equal size balls from the stuffing and keep aside.
That's it, Chana Dal Pooranam is ready.

Notes:
  • The color of the pooranam varies depends on the color of the jaggery.
  • I have used freshly grated coconut but frozen also works fine.
  • You can make this stuffing a day before itself and store it in refrigerator.
