Bobbatlu/Holige/Obbattu/Puran Poli/Pooran Poli”, a Ugadi special dish.Happy Ugadi, Yugadi and Gudi Padwa to my dear friends !!! Ugadi/Yugadi/Gudi Padwa is the New Year’s Day for the people of the Deccan region of India. It is celebrated with great fanfare among people from Andhra, Karnataka, Maharashtra and few other adjoining states

Ingredients:

  • Ghee - For cooking
  • For stuffing/Pooran
  • Chana dal - 1/2 Cup
  • Jaggery - 3/4 Cup
  • Water - 1/2 Cup (Adjust as needed)
  • Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp

For Dough:
  • All purpose flour | Maida - 1 1/2 Cup
  • Rava |Semolina - 1 1/2 Tbsp
  • Rice flour - 1 Tbsp (optional)
  • Salta pinch
  • Turmeric - 1/2 tsp (optional)
  • Butter - 3 Tbsp
  • Water - 1/2 Cup (Adjust as needed)

STEPS:-

STEP 1: First wash and pressure cook the dal with sufficient amount of water for about 3 whistle or until they are done.



STEP 2: While the dal is cooking we can start with the dough. First melt the butter in low flame, but do not brown it. Take a mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients listed under "For dough". Add 2 Tblsp of melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix well to get combined.

STEP 3: Now add water little by little to get a smooth and slight sticky dough. I needed about 1/2 cup of water for the desired consistency. Finally add the remaining butter and knead to get a smooth and elastic dough. Keep it covered for 15 minutes.

STEP 4: By now the dal would have cooked. Wait until the pressure subsides from the cooker, then remove the dal and immediately drain the excess water and transfer the dal to a plate and let it get cooled down to room temperature.



STEP 5: Now grind it in a mixie until smooth without adding any water.

STEP 6: Now heat a pan, add this ground dal along with jaggery and mix them well in low-medium flame until the jaggery melts and the mixture becomes wet. With some jaggery, it would not melt enough to make the mixture wet.

STEP 7: In that case, add 1/2 Cup of water and mix until the mixture becomes smooth and you should be able to make a ball. Add the cardamom powder, mix well and turn off the flame.

STEP 8:  Let the stuffing cool down until you can handle it with hands. Then divide the mixture and make equal sized balls.

STEP 9: Now will start with preparing the bobbatlu. Take the dough, knead it slightly and divide it into equal sized balls. Size of the dough ball should be smaller than the prepared stuffing ball.



 STEP 10: Place one dough ball over it and just flatten it into a small circle using your fingers. Place one pooran ball at the center and just cover the filling by pulling the dough over it. Remove if there is any extra dough. Now roll it in between your palms to form a ball.



STEP 11: Again place them over the greased plate and just flatten them with your fingers into a thin circle which should be thicker than roti.

STEP 12:  Make sure that the stuffing doesn't come out of the outer dough layer. You would be able to see the stuffing under the thin dough outer which is the correct thickness.

STEP 13: Now heat the tawa, grease with ghee and cook the prepared bobbatlu in medium flame until slight golden brown on both sides by flipping them at regular intervals.

STEP 14:  Drizzle some ghee over it and to its sides while cooking.



STEP 15: Transfer to a serving plate. Repeat the same for other divided dough and pooran.
