Now grind the jaggery to a powdery form and add it to the dal . again cook this mixture while this is cooking add cardmom and soamp to it and keep mashing it while its on the flame and is getting cooked .when the mixture has been blended into a pasty , powdery form take it off the flame & let it cool.after it cools down put it in an mixer-grinder and grind it .now make small balls out of the dough kneeded before . now take a ball and crush it so that it is totally flattened into a circle coat it with some oil fill it with the mixture we just grinded and close the circle to form a sphere again and then again . now on a surface apply some oil and start rolling the dough to form a chapati out of it , make it as thin as possible .then take a pan put some oil and bake the pouranpouli on it .
