Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Strained dal water after boiling chana dal for Puran poli if it is not 2 cups then add remaining fresh water
  • The pan in which Puran poli stuffing is made or Leftover stuffing in which is stuck around the edges of the pan while making stuffing for Puran poli
  • Jaggery (Gur) if required
  • 3 tablespoons Desiccated coconut
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds

For Tadka

  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • ½ inch Cinnamon stick
  • 2 Cloves
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 5-6 Curry leaves
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Tamarind paste if using whole tamarind then soak in the warm water, remove pulp and use.
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon Goda masala or you can use garam masala or skip it
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Take coconut, sesame and cumin seeds in a pan on medium heat.
  • Dry roast them with stirring continuously till it is light brown in color.
  • Remove to a plate or bowl and let it cool completely. Once cooled, grind it into powder.
  • Add strained dal water to the pan (in which we made puran poli stuffing). The leftover filling that sticks to the pan will help to thicken the amti and also adds the flavor. Turn the heat on medium.
  • As dal water warms up, scrap the sides and bottom of the pan using spoon and mix it well.
  • Heat the oil in small pan on medium heat.
  • Once hot add cinnamon stick, cloves and bay leaf. Sauté for 30-45 seconds.
  • Add curry leaves.
  • Add tamarind paste and water. If using whole tamarind, then add tamarind water.
  • Now turn off the stove.
  • Add red chili powder, salt and goda masala.
  • Immediately add the tadka to the amti. Mix well.
  • Add prepared fresh spice powder, mix.
  • Taste and see if you need some jaggery or not. Addition of jaggery will depend on how much leftover stuffing you have in the pan. You might not need to add it like me. So, taste and adjust.
  • Let it simmer till you get your desired consistency.
  • Then turn off the stove
