Roughly, a lime sized ball is used. You can vary it to suit your needs ( I use bigger portions for my husband who counts and eats) <br />To start with, use one cup flour, see how the method and everything falls in place for you. Increase the quantity once you get the feel and hang of it.Manasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219295365602655534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-2241660858262918182014-09-23T12:18:02.682-04:002014-09-23T12:18:02.682-04:00Great information about poli/chapati.

I switch between fulkas and polis depending on what goes with them. As you can tell, I grew up with the name 'poli' and 'chapati' is a big no-no in my maternal house. And what do you know..I married a guy who calls them 'chapatis' :D. I'm getting used to the idea of just serving when asked "ek chapati milel ka", instead of correcting him every time. While we make peace in most other arguments, neither of us will give up on this issues - so we agree to disagree :).

I liked the poli my mom made, but also really liked the 'chapati' one neighbor 'kaku' made and I admit, I loved the 'rassa bhaji' at her home, with the 'vataN- ghaTan' that is not typical to a my home. It was so tasty! <br />Manasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219295365602655534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-33158795693148891772013-06-25T21:45:33.270-04:002013-06-25T21:45:33.270-04:00Oh yes, Ash!

Your fulka looks perfect.<br />I am not into much desi TV or movies, but feeling a bit nostalgic the other day I started watching a Marathi movie named "Gandha" on YouTube--it's a medley of three short films. I have only watched the first one but it was absolutely delightful-- about this young woman whose parents are trying to find her a groom and she decides to take matters in her own hands.Vaishalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09369537263521672493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-33931320933722659902013-06-25T10:00:19.118-04:002013-06-25T10:00:19.118-04:00We are hooked to 'Tujha ni Majha Jamena' o...We are hooked to 'Tujha ni Majha Jamena' on apalimarathi too and had a good laugh at this 'polya-chapati' and 'kaku-kaki' jokes. I was born into a colony/society surrounded with neighbours just as shown in the serial so I really enjoy watching this and ALL my life and even today I am often 'corrected' by different set of people for my choice of words used in their company. Didnt Shakespere wonder 'What's in a name?' well some people would love to tell Shakespere how much a name reveals about the people using it, I just find it strange that such things matter so much to some that it gives them goosebumps hearing another word for the same thing! I call it poli/chapati/fulka depending on whom I am talking to just to avoid the awkwardness :-) There's more, 'PaaNi pyaycha bhaanda v/s Pela', ' BaDli' v/s 'BaLdi', 'Mummy v/s Aai' ohhh it's endless!<br /><br />- PritiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-28509832878434440432013-06-25T09:40:33.529-04:002013-06-25T09:40:33.529-04:00No one can beat the simple pleasure of hot poli wi...No one can beat the simple pleasure of hot poli with tup and sakhar.

I grew up saying Poli (coming from a kobra family) and married into a family that says chapati. Whenever I go to my mom's place and say poli - I am promptly corrected by my son (all of 6 years) - 'mamma apan chapati mhanto'... lol.<br /><br />Chapati / Poli - its a fine art.. I think its the toughest thing to cook.. <br /><br />Thanks for a lovely post..<br /><br />Take care,<br />MeenalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-78099459969621940122013-06-25T02:57:53.906-04:002013-06-25T02:57:53.906-04:00u r roti's look so soft.thanks for sharing the...u r roti's look so soft.thanks for sharing the kneading technique.meenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029092405289422249noreply@blogger.com
