Puran Poli 💕 I decided to make puran poli because after sharing my Dhalpuri recipe, there was so much feed back about how the Trinidadian chana dal filled roti was similar to another Indian flatbread, this one a dessert. 😍🥰 Puran Poli is filled with sweetened chana dal, flavoured with cardamom! I used dark brown sugar in this recipe but jaggery is normally used (traditional non-centrifugal cane sugar consumed in the Indian Subcontinent). Puran Poli is also called Holige, Obbattu, or Bobbattlu. It is an Indian sweet flatbread that originates from Southern India. Puran Poli is very popular the Indian state of Maharashtra and Karnataka, states in southwest India and enjoyed on numerous occasions, like during Holi, the festival of colour, or Yugadi/Ugadi, New Year’s Day according to the Hindu calendar.
