Moog Puli Pitha—moog dal pastry with coconut filling | Bhaja Puli or Moog Shamli

"Moog puli" is a mung lentil based pastry stuffed with a sweet filling—we are using coconut and winter date-palm jaggery–then deep-fried and coated in a syrup. It is light, crisp, and salty-sweet. While we are using a grainy sugar coating, a jaggery based syrup is another option.

"Moog puli", often known as "bhaja puli" (fried puli) or "moog shamli" is a type of "pithe" (pronounced "pee-thay") which is an umbrella term used to describe a variety of items prepared using rice, date-palm jaggery (only available in winter), coconut, milk, and flour. Pithe is no single dish, but a category of sweets that are part of the cooking tradition in many regions of India, dedicated exclusively to turning the season’s harvest into delectable foods.
