Parrapu Poli / Holige / Dal Puran Poli

January 13, 2014 By Priya Shiva 18 Comments

Print Recipe

Parrapu Poli is prepared for Bhogi – the first day of Pongal. This dish is also very famous in other parts of India specially in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharastra for Sankaranti. the names might change like puran poli, Holige, Obbattu or the way we call in Tamil Nadu as Parrapu Poli.

puran poli

It is a stuffed flat bread where the stffing is made with a combination of lentil, coconut and jaggery. No dry flour is used to flatten it. We generally grease our hands and flatten the dough but you can also grease the rolling pin lightly and flatten it.

You can also watch this video to try another variation of it. We call it Thengai Poli as coconut and jaggery stuffing is used in it.

 

So, sharing the recipe and wishing you all a Happy Pongal and Sankranti!!!!

    I love your photos. I am not familiar with much Indian fare – though I like curries. Maybe I will have to visit India one day.

    The pictures are great. I do enjoy Indian foods and eat them as often as I can but I prefer it when my friends from India share their food with me. I do believe I will try this recipe once I find an Indian grocery here in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Thanks for adding all the pictures to the recipe.
