WATCH: Step-by-step guide to making poli for Diwali - IOL

Learn how to make poli, a golden, half-moon Diwali treat filled with toasted coconut, almonds, sesame seeds and cardamom.

Add the coconut, sesame seeds, kuskus and almonds. 

On low heat, toast for 35 mins until you can see the coconut turning brown. 

Remove and add cardamom powder, ghee, klim and white sugar.

Mix everything together and add the tin of condensed milk.

Mix into flour until you form a smooth dough. 

Use a half moon cutter and press or if you do not have one, do it by hand with a round object.

Add about a tablespoon of filling in the centre of your circle of dough.

Fold it over and press down with the cutter or with a fork to seal the filling in.
