Puran Poli | Paruppu Poli | Holige Obbattu | Boli


Puran  Poli | Boli is a classic traditional sweet generally we make during Ugadi (Telugu New year), Aavani avittam and Diwali | Bogi pandigai. This Poli is made by stuffing Channa Dal puran.

It's bit time consuming as it requires dal soaking time 30 minutes and dough resting time 4 to 5 hours.
However its absolutely worth the waiting time...it tastes delicious.

I remember that i tried this when i was studying in college but messed up with consistency of puran by pressure cooking the dal till it turns mushy so after that this is the first time i tried and it came out perfect and delicious.

Ingredients:

Maida -  1 cup
Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Salt - 2 pinch
Ghee & Oil - 1/2 cup
Channa Dal - 3/4 cup
Jaggery -  1/2 cup
Cardamon - 4 nos.
Sugar - 2 teaspoon
Coconut - 1 tablespoon (grated)

Method:









  • Take Maida, Salt and Turmeric powder in a bowl.
  • Add enough water, oil and ghee mixture and make a soft dough.
  • Dry roast channa dal and keep it soaked in water for 30 minutes.









  • Boil the Channa dal, until it turns soft. (see the center picture for consistency).
  • Drain the remaining water from the dal.
  • Once the dal comes down to room temperature grind it to powder.

  • Add cardamon and sugar in a mixer and grind it finely.
  • Dry roast grated coconut.
  • Keep both cardamon and coconut along with grinded dal.
  • Grate the jaggery / Powder jaggery and keep it with this.








  • Mix Cardamon, Coconut, Dal and Jaggery and make it into a ball (puran).
  • Take the outer covering dough made with maida and make a small round equal portion.
  • Take a plantain leaf and coat it with ghee.
  • Pat the dough made with maida in the leaf and keep the puran in center and cover it.









  • Pat the covered dough gently into a flat bread with hand, apply ghee if required.
  • Heat a tawa and cook the flat bread | Poli both the side by drizzling ghee.
  • Now the hot and soft Poli is ready to serve.
