Ingredients
  

For the puli / calzone wrapper

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • oil for frying

For the stuffing

  • 2 ripe alphonso mangoes
  • 1 tsp mango ginger finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper powder freshly ground

For the sauce

  • 40 g 70% dark chocolate chopped
  • 1/4 cup mango freshly pureed
  • 1/4 cup mango juice
  • sugar (optional)

Instructions
 

For the puli

  • Take the flour in a bowl, knead with water and a splash of cooking oil. Be careful with the water quantity - you do not want your dough to be soggy. The dough needs to be of a consistency where it doesn't stick to your finger.
  • Cover the dough with a moist cloth.
  • In the meantime, peel the mangoes, chop into small cubes, add the mango-ginger, black pepper and mix very lightly. Keep aside.
  • Make small round balls of the dough, roll them to flat circles about 4-5 inches in diameter. Add 1 tbsp of the mango mixture and carefully fold to a semi-circle with the edges coming together. Use your fingers or a fork to crimp the dough along the edges thereby sealing the wrapper.
  • Heat the oil in pan and deep fry the pulis till golden brown.
  • Serve the hot pulis with the sauce.

For the sauce

  • Take all the ingredients under sauce in a pan and cook on no flame till it form a smooth sauce of thick consistency.

To serve

  • Cut the hot pithe (to get the oozing effect) in halves in a small serving bowl, soft gingerly mangoes will ooze out, add your hot sauce and serve immediately.
