Jeera Poli /Jeera Boli


We are entering the final week of Blogging Marathon #69 edition and this week is going to be an interesting theme with fewer ingredients.

I chose to share 4 ingredients recipe and for this theme the main ingredients to be 4.Any ingredient less than a teaspoon and garnishing cannot be considered.For day1,I am sharing a sweet recipe called jeera boli/poli,quiet popular in Madurai.

Jeera poli is simple yet easy to make sweet in which a fried poori is soaked in a jeera/sugar syrup and garnished.Hence the name Jeera Poli/boli. Garnishing the poli can be done with  chopped nuts and desiccated coconut.The garnishing is purely personal choice and availability of the ingredients.
