I just love Puran Polis. They also go by the names Holige (in Kannada), Bobbatlu(in Telugu), Poli and Obbattu(in Tamil). Usually, during Ganesha Chathurthi, my whole day consists of eating only these sweet delicacies.

Today, being Ugadi and it’s time for these ‘Bobbatlus’ again as part of the festival menu. Here in Karnataka, Holige, as they are called, is a main item in a list of special dishes perpared during the festival.

This video is by Sudha shows you how to make Puran Poli (with Dhal). So enjoy Ugadi and also include this as part of your other festival and special occassions. If you live in Bangalore, don’t forget to call me when you make them :-)
