Making poli using coconut

1.  Take a little ball from each of the three doughs you prepared. Layer together the three different coloured doughs; do not combine them to make one dough. Using a banana leaf, roll it so that the circle is 2 to 3 inches. In the centre of the rolled dough, place a bit of the coconut mixture.
2. Bring the edges in the direction of the centre. The edges should be joined, pinched, and rolled like an A
3. Spread some ghee on a tawa that is moderately hot. The poli/dough circle should be placed on the tawa. Turn over and cook the opposite side once the first side has browned. Use ghee.
