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.
For festivals like Ganesha Chaturthi and Ugadi, these ‘Bobbatlus’ (in Telugu) are very much part of the menu. 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 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

Rosh, Wish you a happy Tamil New Year. I hope you celebrated this wth lots of obbattu.
Thanks Meera for the wishes. Belated wishes to you too. Yes, I stuffed myself with lots of Obbatus and other festival goodies. Now I have to starve for a couple of days to shake of all the weight
