Paal Poli - 1 litre/4 cups milk, 200g/1 cup sugar, 1/2g/1 tsp greeen cardamom powder, 200g/7 oz flour, 50ml/3 tbs groundnut oil, groundnut oil to deep fry puffs.
the dough: Add gnut oil to the flour and rub against the palms. Then add water 6 tbs and knead to make a soft dough. Cover with a moist cloth nand keep aside for 30 minutes. Divide into 12 equal portions, make balls and flatten with a rolling pin into 4 inch discs.

Boil milk in a kadhai, reduce to low heat, stir constantly for 20 minutes. Thence stir after every 5 minutes until milk is reduced to one third. Remove, add sugar, saffron and cardamom, stir until sugar is dissolved.

Heat oil in a separate khadai and fry the discs, one at a time over medium heat nuntil they puff up and become light golden. Soak the puffs in the reduced milk for not more than 5 minutes.

Arrange 3 plois on 4 individual plates, pour on the remaining reduced milk and serve warm.
