Notes
Use can use ghee/gingely oil while making.
Stuffing can be prepared ahead and kept in fridge.
I kneaded the dough and allowed to rest in fridge overnight and made next day morning.
Adjust the amount of coconut in stuffing according to your choice.
Dough should be soft and elastic. It will be little sticky. Apply oil while kneading.
You can use banana leaves or parchment paper while rolling or chapati roller to roll the poli.
I don't like more ghee flavor in Poli so used gingely oil while making. You can use Ghee.
