  • Finely chop the cashews.
  • Take a kadai, add a tsp of Ghee, add Grated coconut & Powdered Jaggery. Mix well.Cook in a Low flame,Jaggery  melts & it gets incorporated with Coconut & becomes thick as shown in the Picture. It takes nearly  3 -4 minutes to combine.Finally add finely chopped Cashews & give a Quick Mix.Take a small quantity of filling & Roll it. you could able to make a ball. This will be the right consistency.  Now Coconut Filling is Ready.

Notes
  • More the time the dough sits aside, dough will be softer &  becomes like elastic.
  • Also, Do not compromise the quantity of oil, else dough won't be softer, so obviously poli's.
  • Making the dough thin or thick, depends upon your choice.
  • Adding the turmeric is optional.
  • Let the poornam be stiff, if watery, poornam will come out while making bobbatlu.
  • you can add pinch of cardomom powder atlast while making the  stuffing &  give a quick Mix.
