South Indian Poli Recipe - Boli | Obbattu | Bobbatlu | Holige

The South Indian Poli Recipe is a very traditional recipe that is made with a combination of lentils, spices and coconut. The addition of coconut along with cardamon in the filling gives the poli a rich and delicious taste.

Poli is most often made during the festivals like Pongal or special occasions in the family. It is also called as Obbattu/Holige in Kannada or Obbattu in Telugu. Each region has a variation to make this recipe and in fact, every home has a unique style too. 

Note: Traditionally Maida is used in the recipe, but to make it healthy, I have used whole wheat flour.
