Now mix jaggery, sugar and gram dal together, and keep it on slow gas.

Initially it becomes too runny but constantly stir the mixture till it becomes thick.

You can check by inserting spatula in the middle of mixture, if it stands erect it means its quite thick enough .

Your Puran is ready for Puran-Poli.
